Here’s a thing. Using Cute FTP for the PC I get 1.9mb sec upload. Reboot to Mac and it gets slaughtered to 243kb / sec. Same settings, same FTP, same server, everything.

I love the Mac but this is a show stopper for uploading artwork for print etc.

I just switched to mac and said goodbye to long loved ws_ftp_le. I paid for CuteFTP so was really pissed when the upload wasnt working. Would time out, freeze, etc. I changed the settings to Passive Mode and Binary after some googling. Works fine now uploading at a cute 1.5 mbs with no stopping in sight!

Hi Peter — All software is absolutely not created equal. Just like just about any other product, certain brands or versions work better than others. Take my anti-virus software for example — I’ve tried three different products and one has risen above the others in terms of performance, reliability and speed. Same with the FTP software I’ve tried. IMHO, CuteFTP is good but WS_FTP and Fetch are FAR superior in actual performance.
I’d love to hear other folk’s opinions on this topic…….

Hi!
This sounds a bit weird. Typically your ftp
software would have very little to do with
the speed. The major influence is the server
which you are trying to upload to.
But I would very much like to see a proper test
on this if anyone has done one?
