FTP? Who uses FTP these days? Certainly not consumers. Even Cisco pushes almost everything via a webserver. (they still have ftp servers, they just don't put much on them these days.)
well, pretty much anyone who has large datasets to move around. that default 64k buffer in the openssl libs pretty much sucks rocks for large data flows.
So you're saying FTP with no SSL is better than HTTP with no SSL?

(see me LEAPING to conclusions....) yes. (although I was actually thinking http w/ SSL vs FTP w/o SSL) a really good review of the options was presented at the DoE/JT meeting at UNL last summer. Basically, tuned FTP w/ large window support is still king for pushing large datasets around. --bill
