Hello,
Over the last few months I have found my ftp program is incredibly slow.
It often waits for a minute or two after I click a remote folder and the
program indicates:
"getting file list"
It seems to take a long time just to open up the remote directory and
simply list the files on the remote server.
I do not recall making any major changes to my network that would have
caused this slow ftp responsiveness.
I thought this might help but it didn't help that much: I went to the
preferences of my ftp program and changed the Transfer Buffer size from
8K (modem) to 64K (ethernet). It still takes a while to list the
directories although I think the file tranfers may be faster.
What settings should I check or what might be the reasons that ftp
program runs so slow?
I tried using the ftp program built into Dreamweaver MX and it too is
slow - takes forever to open a remote directory.
My internet is working at a nice fast speed - its just my ftp program
thats slow.
Specifications:
my ftp program: Fetch 3.0.3
my computer: 355 MHz mac G3
my internet: highspeed cable internet
webpage program: Dreamweaver MX
Thanks for any suggestions,

Mike
