I still think whether your going up, down, or in your case sideways, it will still count as traffic. (?)
| Not really what I meant. I don't want to u/l or d/l anything. I just want
| one web server in the US to transfer files to another web server in the US
| and control the transfer from NZ. I thought this would be possible with FP
| because I can open both US sites at the same time and drag and drop files
| between them.
|
|
| message | I'm tracking it more out of curiosity than the ability to help.
|
| I always thought that the route could be many routes.
|
| But from my view (and I may be totally wrong) is that traffic, whether it's
| file uploads/downloads or calls for pages, would count towards your web
| traffic count (maybe not the correct terminology) - no matter what route it
| came from. I dunno if I'm making any sense what-so-ever.
|
|
| | | If your still tracking this thread, it looks like this is the case but I
| | don't think it should be. Take this as an example:
| |
| | I have my .co.nz domain name and the DNS servers are in New Zealand but my
| | web site is hosted in the US. Now I don't know a heck of a lot about it
| all
| | either but I assume that when someone accesses my web site, the server in
| | New Zealand tells that person's machine where to go in the states to get
| all
| | the files to display the web site. I don't think all the files from my web
| | site go through the DNS server in NZ first then get directed to the person
| | who has requested them. Can you follow me? I thought the Internet followed
| | the fastest path.
| |
| | It seems like FP can not make that direct connection between one site and
| | another, instead needs to pass EVERYTHING through the local machine first.
| | This frustrates me but it might not just be FP, perhaps all file transfer
| | has to be done this way.
| |
| | I'm just so glad that I don't have a dialup modem otherwise I would be
| | completely screwed (400meg web site).
| |
| |
| | message | | I'm no expert on this, but wouldn't bandwidth be used no matter how you
| | moved it? Short of carrying a CD from one server to the other that is
| |

| |
| |
| | | | | Ok just for the record. I transferred a file from one online site to
| | | another. The file size was 3.1197meg. My local machine downloaded approx
| | | 3.4000 meg and uploaded about the same - total bandwidth usage over six
| | | megs. What a waste of my time and bandwidth! I don't know why FP can't
| | just
| | | transfer directly to the hosting server I want to upload the files from
| | the
| | | hosting server where they are coming from. Perhaps it is not as simple
| as
| | | what I thought. But at least I have answered my own question. After the
| | | whole night trying.
