Hi,

I happened to come across a site
http://www.ftpy-ah.com
this site may not be perfect but it does serve the purpose of transfer of data from one server to another. And it is unbelieveably fast.
The main problem with the site is that it does not allow you to access your local Hard Disk.
Regards
Merryfi

I wouldn't trust putting in my ftp logins and passwords into some online app. That's just me :)

Me neither. Just think.... you logon to your server using root password and it gets saved in a log file :D

telenet to your server and use the wget command. it does the same and you do not have to give anyone your passwords.

Also, you can use some FTP clients (like FlashFXP) to copy from one site directly to another.

FXP sucks to be honest. It hogs the bandwidth of both ftp servers.

You mean that it eats more bandwidth than the actual filesize ? Uh... I will check the FTP Log...

I used FXP to transfer a test file between two different ftp accounts.

This is from my FTP Log :
[3] Wed 24Oct01 10:48:03 - (000094) Sending file d:\test\test.txt
[3] Wed 24Oct01 10:48:03 - (000094) Sent file d:\test\test.txt successfully (170 Kb/sec - 2792 bytes)
[4] Wed 24Oct01 10:48:03 - (000095) Received file d:\test\test.txt successfully (3.22 Kb/sec - 2792 bytes)

The actual file size is exactly 2792 bytes.

I am curious as to where you got this information or what makes you think that? I'm not saying your absolutely wrong, but I've never heard that nor witnessed that.
