- 3. The Problem: Transferring Large
Volumes of Small Files
• Each file needs set up/teardown
• FTP sends PASV command followed by STOR
command
• Fine with large files, but with many small files it takes
too long
• Introduce latency and it is even worse

- 4. Test Case
• 37,000 files, 900 directories
• FileZilla – Takes too long to wait for!
• FileCatalyst HotFolder with Single Archive option –
finishes quickly

- 5. Alternatives
• Zipping it yourself in manual, need to unzip other
side
• What if one file changes? Send it all again
