Hello

We have a database program and at central we accumulating datas monthly.

We want to transfer files between us. Total monthly tranfer may be 1 Gb or less.

I learnt that ftp transfers overload web servers and this being abuse. So that reason we can not take a web hosting for this puspose.

For file transfer which way we can use ?
Please recommend us a service and a way.

Thanks.

From your explanation the only real solution seems to be using "rsync" for file transfers (http://rsync.samba.org/)

And your right - using FTP would not be a smart idea in this situation, as it would use up a lot of extra bandwidth and cpu time.

Hello

- My web hosting manager said a lot ftp access may overload server and said "please be carefull" but I can't know when we do many or less transfer.
My web transfer limit is 1 Gb.

For that reason I searched a different way.

- And I think we cant use Resync, because we are using 56k modems and data files are 5-15 MB (we are zipping splitting them to send.)

Thanks for opinions.

You can use rsync with 56k modems. And you can use it with datafiles of 5-15 megs in size.

The way you _should_ be doing it is this:

1) Don't split up the file

2) Don't zip it

3) Use rsync (possible over SSH) to transfer the file

That way you'll use less bandwidth than when splitting and zipping the file (as rsync does compression internally, and only transfers the changed parts of the file each time).

Hello

Our files like this :
over 45 paradox tables and their indexes (~140 table.)

We adding data's in them. Without compression in some places data files >50 Mb total.

And we using MS windows systems.

Do you think really we can use resync ?

Thanks.

Yes, why not?

Hello again

It's rsync, not resync. You can get it for windows.

I don't understand anything of what you say about the Yahoo briefcase.

Ok thanks.

Name was wrong :)

And I misunderstand what this program does.
When I looked FAQ at program site I see how it works.
I will examine it carefully.

I hope we can use it.

And please forget question about Yahoo-briefcase, sometimes I asking very incurious things.

Thanks for your help and concern.
