The ongoing saga:
I have to move this big-ass site (approx 3,000 pages, I'm told) from
an old Mac (WebSTAR) server to a new NT (IIS) server.
Well, I figure, considering the two different systems, FTP is good enough.
Wrong. FTP is not good. I can't really move more than one weensie
little directory before my FTP program (Fetch) chokes. Doesn't
matter what kind of connection I have. I'm not sure using a better
FTP program (Anarchie) is going to help me all that much. Plus I'm
really lazy about learning new software.
I think it's the server that's making things difficult.
So this project is taking hours, days.
Is there a better way to do this? If not, okay. I just don't want
to be doing this crazy slow transfer if there is a better way.

simultaniously make her feel like an idiot and solve all her
problems.)
