If you use good tool in a wrong environment, why you blame the tool?? 3G _is_ a wrong environment, supposed to be very unstable! So blame 3G, not a FTP. And it's not a problem of FTP that some lazy ass didn't implement "block" mode transfer.
You're talking from side of "I wanna this result" (side of USER - man who doesn't know and don't want to know internals of protocol). But you _blame_ protocol like you KNOW internals! Don't you see you jumped to the side of your incompetency??
All what you can ask is: "We need to transfer files in unreliable 3G environment. Previously we use wrong tool FTP, can you please advice for tool which can do reliable transfer over unstable connection?".

Don't knock a compliant ftp just because you'll have to install a compatible version on both client and server ends. After all, if you go with some other application, you'll already have to do that anyway. The difference is that the client won't have to learn some new tool just for their file transfers with you. Whether that difference is a plus or a minus depends on the client's attitude about this matter.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I wasn't aware that I had knocked a compliant ftp.
Or did you mean the fact that I said that in the particular circumstances the ftp being used wasn't reliable?
I think I was probably clear enough that I had been happy using ftp until the client changed their internet connection to 4g at which point the ftp program being used failed to cope and I was looking for an alternative. I can now see from Thorniks response that this could be a different ftp implementation

We do a lot of data transfers from our site to specific NASA sites and the data has to get there correctly.
We had been using FTP and shipping the MD5's but one of our clients had to change their access due to security issues so we changed to SFTP which has a guaranteed delivery feature.
We have not had any issues with failed or improperly transferred files since.

So, I put my bit-throttler into a 'live test' environment and it works! I've managed to reduce the whole of Bedford's bandwidth by 90%!

I suggest you continue to monitor it, there may be unexpected side effects.

With a little more throttling, you could reduce the UK's online demand for shell suits by half!

You couldn't get it to reduce the bandwidth all towns south of that along the A6 as well could you? Just for experimental purposes...

Makes me wonder what you downloaded that takes up that much bandwidth!

Every now and then they are seen in the wild but very rarely.

I give you the same answer I gave the guy looking for somethign more reliable than FTP.

Maybe you left the internet on somewhere else and there's a drop in pressure? Or maybe your internets leaking somewhere? Did you check that?
