Re: Ftp Efficiency

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



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.
