Re: What is the best way to transfer a file of size around 20GB ?

Before we can suggest, we need to know how are those servers connected? WAN/LAN? What's the speed?

If the file is now on the FTP Server, did you try downloading the file off the FTP Server?

If the file is not on a FTP Server, get a temporary FTP server running on that server, and use the other computer to download the file off that FTP Servr. Use a download manager to download from the FTP server (if it's on a WAN). This ensures that the download is resumable.

Hi,

We have to restore a SQL Server database from backup that is of size around 20GB. However, the backup staff restore it to another server that runs as IIS + FTP Server (Not the one where SQL Server installed).

We have attempted to transfer the file from the FTP Server but not successful. And we would like to know what is the best way to copy the file across ?

Thanks
Peter
