FTP limitations
[1/3] from: mattsmac::hotmail::com at: 3-Sep-2003 15:03
Does anybody know if FTPing via REBOL has any limitations? Like size of
file transfer? Here's my problem: I'm trying to send files from client
machines up to a server, these files can easily be 100MB +. When using a
test file (Microsoft Word Document 107MB) it comes to the FTP server with a
file size of 0. Also, is there a way to wait on an FTP connection so that
the rest of the program won't contimue until the file is safely uploaded?

I think FTP has issues of its own without any help from REBOL. :) I
haven't done much against it myself, other than the simple things I do
with REBOL, but creating a robust wrapper around FTP is not trivial as
I understand it.
FTPGadget is supposed to be very reliable, and it's written in REBOL.

Is ASP an option?
I had server problems with both PERL and REBOL, while they work, they work
slow.
ASP is doing the job without issues.
