Well I don't know, I'm not that familiar with how the system works in NZ. I'd hope they'd check the hash against a database of "files that are not supposed to be shared" (which would take quite some effort to maintain), but on the other hand I'd also expect a stupid automated system to be stupid.

I suppose for his case, he should his own (private) tracker and only give the .torrent file/magnet link to the customer or the other way around.
The listing should not be public, the connection should be encrypted (MSE), and usually the government wouldn't know unless they enable deep-packet inspection on for each packet.

I've had good luck with BitTorrent Sync[^]...it's peer to peer, works on all platforms and it's free.

Thank you very much for this suggestion
I have now set this up (pretty straightforward) and it has just completed it's first successful transfer
It took 69 hours to transfer 3.2GB over the 4g connection but it was a good transfer which is way more important
I can also see a number of other benefits in using this as a replacement solution
Cheers Mike

On the Torrent note, there is Bittorrent Sync[^], from the official Bittorrent Labs site.

Did you know there is a name for that?
It's called FedExNet[^] - and it is used for really fast transfer of really big data!

Yes indeed. Thank you
I noticed that the most new things I learn everyday come from CP. Strange isn't it ?

What, you mean you actually go to other web-sites?

You asked stupid question, because FTP _is_ reliable, since it works over TCP. Read about FTP's "block transfer mode" - exactly what you need for broken connections.
|
|
|
|
|
thank you for your opinion
unfortunately the majority of ftp implementations do not have the option of "block transfer mode" preferring to implement the Stream mode instead.
|
|
|
|
|
But it's not a reason to name FTP as "unreliable", do you agree? EVERYTHING above TCP is reliable.
And best "really working" way is rsync or torrent (as adviced above).
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry but I don't agree
In my book if a program sets out to do something (in this case transfer a file) and the results are not achieved it isn't reliable. It doesn't matter to me or the customer why the program is failing just that it is
I wasn't aware of the alternate modes in the ftp spec and after checking it appears that a lot of ftp programs available only implement stream mode and now I know I might have phrased the subject slightly differently but the idea of a subject is to convey what you are looking for in a few words

If you use good tool in a wrong environment, why you blame the tool?? 3G _is_ a wrong environment, supposed to be very unstable! So blame 3G, not a FTP. And it's not a problem of FTP that some lazy ass didn't implement "block" mode transfer.
You're talking from side of "I wanna this result" (side of USER - man who doesn't know and don't want to know internals of protocol). But you _blame_ protocol like you KNOW internals! Don't you see you jumped to the side of your incompetency??
All what you can ask is: "We need to transfer files in unreliable 3G environment. Previously we use wrong tool FTP, can you please advice for tool which can do reliable transfer over unstable connection?".

Don't knock a compliant ftp just because you'll have to install a compatible version on both client and server ends. After all, if you go with some other application, you'll already have to do that anyway. The difference is that the client won't have to learn some new tool just for their file transfers with you. Whether that difference is a plus or a minus depends on the client's attitude about this matter.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
