    Uploading Gigabytes of Data

    What do you guys do when you have gigabytes of data to upload to your server? I have like 10gb to upload, but it will take days to do it here on our connection.

    Are there office stores or cafes or something that I could go to and upload it all superfast?

    Some hosts will let you ship a portable hard drive to them and they will connect that to your server and transfer the files for you. I know that national net and my other hosting company both do it... so you might check with your host to see if they can accomodate you on this.

    Thanks, I should have said I was looking for other options. They charge $115 to do that and i'd rather not pay so much.

    Even at an internet cafe, (if they have a T1) will still take you the best part of a day to upload 10 gigs. I have really never seen super fast uploads any any public place before.

    I guess you can ask some of your friends what types of connections that they have. Verizon Fios now advertisies (30 Mbps/15 Mbps) and that would help you out greatly!

    it was an SFTP client from http://www.winscp.com/ - its free, the only catch is that your FTP account needs SSH access to your server to use the "S" in SFTP.
