Re: FTP from IFS using zip file

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

FTP reads data and sends it.  In pseudocode it might look like this:

1.  Read a big string of bytes from file.
2.  Send big string of bytes.
3.  Was that the end of the file?  If not, go back to step 1.

It doesn't know or care that your data is a .ZIP file.  It simply reads 
the bytes that makes up the file and sends them.  The contents of the 
file are irrelevant to the FTP process.

I suggest looking for network and/or system performance issues rather 
than looking at the type of data in your files.
