Dave,

FTP reads data and sends it. In pseudocode it might look like this:

1. Read a big string of bytes from file.
2. Send big string of bytes.
3. Was that the end of the file? If not, go back to step 1.

It doesn't know or care that your data is a .ZIP file. It simply reads the bytes that makes up the file and sends them. The contents of the file are irrelevant to the FTP process.

I suggest looking for network and/or system performance issues rather than looking at the type of data in your files.

Has anyone used FTP to transfer .zip files from the IFS to another server. I am having a problem with the file transfer taking an extremely long time to transmit.

Any help would be appreciated.
