EFT Server supports multi-part transfers from advanced FTP clients such as CuteFTP Professional. The user must have appropriate privileges and be authorized to connect multiple times concurrently. The connecting client takes care of most details, including splitting the file apart, sending the multiple parts, and then requesting that the Server to join them again upon receipt. The COMB command joins the parts back together. The benefits of segmented (multi-part) and concurrent delivery for accelerated transfers include:
Accelerate throughput and maximize available bandwidth available to the client by allowing uploaded files to be split apart and transferred in multiple segments simultaneously.
Command can be toggled on or off.
The COMB command is a proprietary command and is not defined nor endorsed by any FTP-related RFC; however, the command can be integrated with other servers using the following syntax:
COMB <TF> <SF 1> ... <SF n>
where
<TF> is the path to target file, which will contain the combined data from the source parts.
<SF #> are the source files (parts).
Which means combine n source files (SF 1...n) into one file (TF).
If the target file already exists, then EFT Server appends source files to it.
EFT Server will delete all the source files once they are combined successfully.
All file names should be in quotation marks.
For information about using the COMB command, refer to Allowing Multipart Transfers (COMB Command) on the Site.
