Ninjakreborn Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I have about.... 35 gigs I want to put into storage on my server. However it's taking forever... I am using something called...'3d-FTP' which seems to go really faster (using multi-threaded ftp). However it's been going for 3 days now, i have been uploading files, and I am on set 3/17. I have 17 sets of data 2.5 gigs each and each set contains many files (400+) I am sending them all to storage on a server. After that I have some data that is a group of data around 4.6 gigs. I need to be able to send all of this data to storage on my server. Is there anyway I can get it from my computer to my server without it taking another month. As I said it's been going on for 3-4 days now, and I am on group 3 out of 17. Each group having 2.5 gigs. it's not going very well, any advice?

AndyB Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 CDs and Fedex perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 not that it's any of my business, but i'd question why anything that size needs storing on a remote server in one shot, especially for just "storage" purpose - but Andy's suggestion of mailing it would definitely be the wisest option, if you have to do it.

Ninjakreborn Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Cd's might be a possibility, but why would I mail data to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Cd's might be a possibility, but why would I mail data to myself. Ummm, you mail it to where your servers are hosted so that they can copy it over... Edit: typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 do you mean that the server is not externally located, and lives in your own home? in this case, wouldnt a direct ethernet connection work rather than FTP? or just get a CD drive for you server and put them on directly?

JayBachatero Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 You can also rsync the files. IIRC rsync is faster than ftp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 If your having to use a multi-threaded ftp application, then your bandwidth is shaped to limit connection speed. Get a fast broadband connection. A T3 connection will allow you to send and recieve ~4MB a second. 2.5 hours should do your 35GB. :-) -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
