Ftp Efficiency

Hello,

Using vs2005 and the new built-in Ftp functionality. I need to transfer
a gigantic amount of data (15 GB) using my app. The current way is that
I ZIP (or RAR) the data and transfer it to the server via FTP. Is
there a more efficient way to transfer data? Does FTP go as fast as the
pipe allows? (btw, the transferred data is binary, not text).

Thanks.

Frank,

This isn't an FTP question. FTP is just a protocol that is used over
the communications layer (sockets using TCP/IP). It doesn't have a say in
how fast it sends data.

The general answer is, yes, it will send data as fast as it can.
Whether or not it is binary or text doesn't matter, since text is just bytes
anyways...

Hope this helps.

Hi - I've been reading the posts for a solution to my query, and realize that I should ask an "approch" question as well. We receive our production data from a third party, so my uers import the data from Excel into the appropriate tables. There are 6 different databases that receive data, though 4 of them only get one table each. I have learned how to automate the data import through

Hello- i am trying to make the function addbitwise more efficient. the code below takes an array of binary numbers (of size 5) and performs bitwise addition. it looks ugly and it is not elegant but it appears to work. using time, i measured it takes .041s to execute, which i admit isnt much. but, the problem is that this procedure will be called many, many times in my project (probably at least a few thousand times, if not more) so...

Hi all, Normally, I would trust that the ANSI libraries are written to be as efficient as possible, but I have an application in which the majority of the run time is calling the acos(...) method. So now I start to wonder how that method, and others in the math.h library, are implemented. Dave

Hi, I have read somewhere that C code sometimes cannot be compiled to be as efficient as FORTRAN, eg for matrix multiplication, because a C compiler cannot make the assumptions about arrays that a FORTRAN compiler can. But I don't understand the example, not least because I don't understand FORTRAN. I also don't understand why it is more efficient in this case for a compiler to choose the order of evaluation (or whatever it is that it...

dynamic_cast can be used to obtain a pointer or to obtain a reference. If the pointer form fails, then you're left with a null pointer. If the reference form fails, then an exception is thrown. Would "Feed1" or "Feed2" be preferable in the following: #include <iostream>

Efficiency I've never stumbled on any discussion of efficiency of various methods of coding, although I have found posts on various forums where individuals were concerned with efficiency. I'm not concerned when dealing with user typing, but I am if a procedure is called by a query. Does the VBA compiler generate "in-line" code for some apparent function calls? For example, y = Abs(x) might be compiled as y = x & mask. The string...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
