I have to send a very large number of files to an FTP server.
At the moment, the only way I’ve found to do it is using a File Iterator, and the FTP client. However, this means that for every file, connection will be open, authenticated, file transferred and connection closed.
I have hundreds of (small) files, so not that great, it takes hours.
Is there any way to create the connection once, then do the file iteration and FTP upload, and then finally close the connection?
That’ll teach me not to ask for help that quickly…
The answer is: Upgrade to 4.0… which I’m going to do straight away!
Yep, that's the right answer :) The new set of FTP actions in FB4 give you a lot of flexibility, as well as extra speed for multiple operations.
