CuteFTP Professional User s Guide 

Configuration Notes 

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

Currently, only GlobalSCAPE Secure FTP server supports the COMB command.  

Setting the Multi part upload attribute can greatly increase the transfer speed for 

larger files under certain conditions. For example, the site must support multiple 

concurrent connections from the same user and you must have significant 

bandwidth. 

The Upload method is a syncrhonous command, meaning it must finish executing 

before subsequent commands in your script can be called. Use the method 

UploadAsync (which also supports Multi part transfers) to asyncrhonously upload 

files, which allows you to execute the rest of the script while the upload(s) take place.
