Faster FTP uploading with FileZilla

Posted by MMagery on Friday Oct 10, 2008 Under Software

I bet you are annoyed with slow FTP uploading speeds. You have to upload file by file and if you have hundreds of them it takes time. And it is so slow… Well there is one pretty neat trick how to make things faster.

This tutorial is for:

  • gallery submitters
  • freesite submitters
  • blog owners (updating WordPress)
  • all who need upload more than 50 files on regular basis

There is one great free FTP client for both Windows and Linux who is able to do that trick - it’s FileZilla.

So let me explain how to enable this option for uploading multiple files at once and thus getting most of your upload speed. I will use version 3.1.3.1 for this tutorial. Once you have downloaded and entered your web site details go to SETTINGS and find TRANSFERS like you can see on the image below:

filezilla-settings

Right now there are only two simultaneous transfers, I suggest you to put 7 or 9. Maybe you may need to lower this number because FTP server on other site will not allow you to make more than 5 connections at same time from single computer (in that case you will need to lower number of simultaneous transfers to 5 or 4).

In case you need hosting who allows you to use multiple simultaneous FTP connections (transfers) click here.
