I'm evaluating your product and was wondering if the SYNC function puts files slower than regular FTP. Files seem to be put alot faster when I use an FTP client vs command line with the SYNC function.
Is there anyway to monitor the speed it's sending at?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello Jason,
The upload speed is shown on the status bar of the normal (non-command line) ScriptFTP while the file is being transferred, but if you are transferring very small files (<100 KB) the upload time is so short that there is not enough time to see the actual speed value.
Synchronizing files takes longer than just uploading them using a normal FTP client. ScriptFTP performs more steps than just uploading the file, first it asks the server for the modification time of each
file in the directory and then, for each file it checks that is wasn't partially uploaded, then uploads the file with a different name (appending .part to the file name) and once the upload is finished it
renames the file back to its original name.
You should expect longer times uploading many small files with SYNC. If you upload large files the difference is not much.
Try using this command to avoid some steps, you will get faster synchronizations:
