Anything faster than the FTP?
-
Hello all, Usually I need to share big files with customers or similar people. Currently I'm using a FTP FileZilla server in order to share those files. The problem is that it takes ages to send a file. Is there anything out there that would be easily controlled and parametrized that would be faster? My users don't have a technical background, so easy is a must here. The files can be videos of 600MB +/-. Thank you in advance...

Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.

First came across it in Andrew S Tannenbaum's book. Peter just beat me to it.
Cheers, Vikram. (Proud to have finally cracked a CCC!)

Hi, You may need something like CDN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content\_delivery\_network), but both 'parties' have to be subscribers of some CDN service. There are also some proprietary solutions, e.g. from Aspera (www.asperasoft.com) and others. Note that all of them use some proprietary protocols to speed up file transfer.

What's the connection to your server like? What's your bandwidth? If your FTP server is outside your LAN, are you sure your ISP isn't throttling port 21 or whatever custom port you may be using? Can you quantify your actual speed vs your expectations? How long does it take to transfer one of those 600MB files? Not much should be slowing down a connection to FTP--it should go about as fast as the slowest connection point can handle.

Bittorrent? You could also use http://www.bitlet.org/[^] so user does not have to install client, have not used myself so not sure about speed.
