Transferring Files and Folders 

You can configure the ProFTPD 1.2.3 Orc3 server, the wu ftpd 2.6.0 server and the MS IIS 

5.0 server to allow FXP.

ISTORY OF 

FXP 

Separate CONTROL and DATA connections allows transmitting data not only between 

client and server; it allows a client to control two FTP servers at once and transfer data 

between them by issuing a PASV command on one server and then a matching PORT 

command on the other. Thus, one server connects to the other instead of to a client. This 

behavior is not a hack; it is part of the official FTP specs. Today, it is widely known as FXP. 

Multi part (accelerated) transfers 

You can greatly speed up the transfer of large files with multi part transfers. A  u

m lti part 

transfer divides large files and sends the parts over multiple FTP sessions.

Note: 

You can only use multi part uploads with servers that support the 

COMB command, such as GlobalSCAPE Secure FTP Server.  

Note:  

Very large files can take time to combine, so you might have to manually 

refresh (F5) the screen after a large multi part transfer to see the resulting 

single, combined file on the remote server.
