FTP limitations

 [1/3] from: mattsmac::hotmail::com at: 3-Sep-2003 15:03


Does anybody know if FTPing via REBOL has any limitations? Like size of file transfer? Here's my problem: I'm trying to send files from client machines up to a server, these files can easily be 100MB +. When using a test file (Microsoft Word Document 107MB) it comes to the FTP server with a file size of 0. Also, is there a way to wait on an FTP connection so that the rest of the program won't contimue until the file is safely uploaded?

I think FTP has issues of its own without any help from REBOL. :) I haven't done much against it myself, other than the simple things I do with REBOL, but creating a robust wrapper around FTP is not trivial as I understand it. FTPGadget is supposed to be very reliable, and it's written in REBOL. -- Gregg

Is ASP an option? I had server problems with both PERL and REBOL, while they work, they work slow. ASP is doing the job without issues. Dr. J. J. "So far right, I can't see center" Harbaugh King James Only Bible List <mailto:[kjbo--earthlink--net]?subject=subscribe>
