And as already stated, most other FTP clients support this feature, so FileZilla will not cause a massive influx of new unblockable abuse. Don't deprive your users, many of whom have very legitimate uses for this, in favor of a smaller number of incompetent admins. The problem is not on filezilla's side of course, but if the feature was implemented it would be a relief. The use can be legitimate, and not only for stealing bandwidth as you can see!
Replying to codesquid :. I have a need to copy files a large number between 2 computers and I want to use filezilla in multi threaded transfer mode. Hello, I read the replies above and what I understand is that Filezilla does not support "multi-threaded transfer".
Does it or not? I have version 3. Also is "multi-threaded transfer" the same as "multi-part transfer"? And I wonder why the big difference. Would you know why? I just tested this, and I've learned that you're wrong about it reducing overall available bandwidth, in my test case of a single large file on a single-user system. I experienced a 5X bandwidth increase using 5 connections, instead of only 1 connection.
Since this is a single-user system I tested, that means you're also wrong about other users "paying" for something as a consequence, because there are no other users.
As an admin on a multi-user system, I could easily limit simultaneous connections to 5, to ensure that maximum download speeds are achieved without over-doing the number of simultaneous connections.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're also probably wrong to expand the scope of FileZilla's design to policing a hypothetical admin's users on a hypothetical system that appears to not exist in the real world. Of course, it's good to design software with sensible and friendly usage in mind, but I can't think of any system I've ever witnessed that would benefit from this expansion in FileZilla's scope.
All of them that are still operating today will support multiple connections, and FileZilla only stands in the way of using that feature as the admins intended. It's worth noting that FTP isn't so popular as it used to be, so abuse is a non-issue.
That might not have been the case 9 years ago when this feature was requested and rejected. Note that this feature should properly be called "Segmented", not "multipart". See these URL's for explanation:. They talk about downloading from multiple servers. I think you're looking at the problem backward because you're missing the fact that 1 connection does not achieve maximum bandwidth.
So, it's not a question of reaching maximum speed with 1 connection, and then dividing it up to 5 connections. Instead, it's a question of NOT reaching anything even close to maximum speed with 1 connection, and then getting closer to the theoretical maximum with more connections. In the test I did, 1 connection was not achieving maximum speed.
In that case, the question is "why wasn't I able to achieve maximum speed with only 1 connection? I don't know the answer to that question, but since it was a Filezilla FTP server, I'm probably not the most qualified person around here to answer that question.
Barring a server problem, maybe there's some sort of server hardware or network quirk that caused 1 connect to be so very inferior to multiple connections. I honestly have no idea why multiple connections are better than 1 connection, but it's such a common feature to support for both clients and servers, surely I'm not the first person to experience this phenomenon, and just because no one here has explained it does not mean the phenomenon doesn't exist.
The problem has been identified. The solution has been identified. As such, halting progress on this bug until somebody explains why the industry standard solution works is an irrelevant red herring. What we're saying here is that there is no good reason for Filezilla to be different. Every objection to supporting multiple segmented downloads has been thoroughly shot down during the last 9 years or dismissed as a red herring.
It's time to concede that Filezilla should implement this feature eventually. With FileZilla, my speeds are limited greatly. I understand that codesquid doesn't want to implement this for several reasons. Yes, there is some overhead and wasted bandwidth, and yes there are technical hurdles in implementing it, but I believe the performance benefits outweigh these negatives.
These are also settings that can be disabled by default, and only apply to files over a target size. Some times, TCP does not reach its maximum speed due to things like packet drops unrelated to congestion, or high latency. One possible fix is to make TCP itself able to cope with higher latency and random packet drops.
But in the meantime, segmented downloads is a widely adopted workaround. This is very real, as the reason people want segmented downloads nowadays, is working around this type of issue.
I really don't get why it's not at least recognised as a valid feature request. It's been 5 years since my last comment and I dropped FileZilla totally as an sftp client for this reason. Heavily using cross-continent transfer, it's a nightmare with Filezilla. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me like this IS recognized as a valid feature request by virtue of the fact that its status is "reopened", and nobody has reclosed it yet. It should be easy to find an alternative, since anything still around today probably had this feature a decade ago.
Similarly, to discover the code to execute WinSCP as. NET assembly code tab, as shown below. But, you can perform some simple commands with it on the command line if you specify a few parameters.
Although winscp. In that case, you need winscp. Regardless of which tool you choose, you must open a command prompt either cmd.

How to download a single file using Session. Asked 2 years ago. Active 7 months ago. Viewed 2k times. So, basically I am trying to download only one file from the entire folder on my server. Folder "domain" contains those files right now: File1.
GetCurrentDirectory ; However if I change the remote path to whole directory, not a single file I need it works great, but I don't need all three. GetCurrentDirectory ;. Improve this question.
