FTP'ing Content

binxgook · 2005-07-25, 02:33 PM

How long does it usually take to get your content by ftp? My new content has been downloading for almost 3 hours???

Toby · 2005-07-25, 02:58 PM

I downloaded a 156 meg file yesterday in about 15 minutes. Just how much content are you downloading?

Lemmy · 2005-07-25, 03:28 PM

You must be buying a lot of porn.

Are you on dialup?

binxgook · 2005-07-25, 03:30 PM

No, not that much 80 bytes is the file size and I'm on high speed

binxgook · 2005-07-25, 03:31 PM

It keeps telling me such and such a file already exsists do I want to overwrite??? for almost 3 hours now.

Sounds like you need to delete everything and start over.

To answer the initial question, that would depend on a) how much content; b) your Internet connection speed; c) their server speed.

At 3 hours, you would have to either be getting a ton of content, or someone is using a 28.8 dialup modem.

You've downloaded the content a bunch of times. Are you using Cute FTP? Soemtimes when it gets a connection drop it will continue to connect and get the complete file.

However, you will often get that message everytime it completes the download. When you tell it to over write that's what it does. Tell it no and check the file. I bet it's fine.

if your provider's support FXP, you can do a server to server move which is much faster.

if you have ssh, you could use scp.
scp -rp directory user@1.2.3.4:newdirectory

if you have ssh, and rsync, you could use rsync.
rsync -ap --delete directory/ user@1.2.3.4:newdirectory/

Thanks to you I know actually understand the above and use it all the time but I'm surprised that you didn't add the verbose flag to the above so that she can watch what is going on.

That would be
rsync -apv --delete directory/ user@1.2.3.4:newdirectory

Depending on what's happening the verbose flag can send a lot of data to your workstation and isn't the idea to keep your workstations's wire out the process?

I'll often do a test with a verbose flag but almost never use it at othe times.

You are right but it sure helps when I'm trying to get everything working.

80 bytes? Are you sure? My 1x1 spacer gif is 43 bytes. I'm thinking that 80 bytes should take about .0000000005 of a second.

Must be dwarf content

Useless · 2005-07-25, 06:38 PM

Hadn't thought of that. Properly douched dwarf content would weigh even less.
