UFTP Reviews

I'm surprised there isn't more awareness and reviews for this program. UFTP saved me a lot of hassle on my maintenance trip. The place I was staying in had poor internet latency, but an abundance of download bandwidth. TCP, over a long distance connection, is not always ideal, and that was the situation I was faced with my distant file server. The network speeds I was receiving was around 0.5 to 2 megabytes per second over SMB (TCP, but with optimizations)->VPN (UDP, but with TCP, due to the SMB protocol being used). Robocopy was a bit more stable with all the necessary flags checked; UFTP was the fastest of them all. With UFTP, I was able to fully saturate my internet connection and reach 16 megabytes per second! I was able to download an 18 gigabyte movie in the course of just 20 minutes. I honestly wish I knew about this tool sooner rather than later, because optimizing for TCP, over high latency, is a nightmare and barely does much of anything.

Outstanding set of code - really well thought out and does exactly what it says it will. So much of what I thought I would need to do externally has been taken care of for you. Highly recommend.

Thanks for this amazingly resiliant protocol that is bullet proof to send data over Irididium satellite phone data connection. Slow ! 2.4KB/s on average and glitchy. This protocol of all tested ftp, ssh and a few others is the only one that works over UDP so really light and is able to send files as big as 200kB on the first attempt. Really hats off !

Extremely useful tool. I used this to achieve higher speed file publishing between servers in Europe and China (see Github -> sieger82/high-speed-tridion-publishing). Works perfectly and is well documented. Worked the first time.
