I have a virtual dedicated server running windows server 2003. My home computer runs Vista business. I can easily connect via remote desktop or ftp to my virtual dedicated server. The problem is I have a 6 GB File that I'm trying to transfer from my home pc to my virtual dedicated server. I tried through ftp and everything was going well, I was 60% through after waiting a full day, and it timed out. I also tried splitting the file into multiple files but each file is still at least a GB which takes at least an hour. Is there any solution for quicker file transfers?

If you're transferring via ftp (with for example filezilla) and it times out you can resume the transfer and continue from where you left | |||

Splitting the file into smaller ones was the solution I think. FTP normally is a fast way to transfer files. The Problem is that your connection seems to be very slow. I've heard from some hosting companies where you can send files e.g. on a USB Stick or a mobile hard drive an they plug it into your server. When your company doesn't you can search for a better connection maybe on a internet coffee or at an friend's home. | |||

Maybe a combination of breaking the file up, FTP resume (not sure how well that will work) and going somewhere with a faster upload speed. If you have access to a local college or University, that might help. A public library could help as well. | |||

I use Binfer to regularly move backup data from CentOS to my home PC. I have gnome running on the CentOS. Binfer is java based and its real easy. no need to mess around with FTP. Check it out: http://www.binfer.com | |||
