@Guest

The UI is a bit misleading. In another recent post, Martin pointed out that the number of connections has some limitations. That is, it can say 9 but be only 1 if any of the limitations are in use.

@Guest: Multithreading works in general (and has been improved a lot since the past post in this old thread). If it does not work for you, please post much more details about your setup and what exactly are you doing.

hey yo whattup this feature still missing lol its still only uploading 1 file per time, no multi threading :(

Still not fixed :x

Sure, I guess this will be quite useful.
Please consider to fix this.
Thanks!

It does not recurse file from subdirectories and downloads them not at once but one after another:

WinSCP:
directory -> file -> file -> file -> file (one thread at a time)

For example FileZilla:
directory
-> file
-> file
-> file
-> file (4 threads at a time)

OK, so you do not think that WinSCP is slow as such when transferring lots of small files in a row? (comparing to other file transfer clients?)

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

Does anybody upload more than 10 files?

BTW,


how do you all realize uploading many files at once recursed into subdirectories?
It takes ***ages*** for directories with hundreds of files.

Thanks for you hints

Thanks alot! That would be awesome to see the new feature soon!

If I drag 5 selected files to the remote ftp-server there will be only one background-transfer started at the same time.

See Transfer each file individually on background by default:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_pref_background

But how do I manage to upload an entire directory with many subdirectories with automatically the max. number of background transfers are being started automatically?

This request is being tracked already:
Issue 875 – Allow background transfer operations to use multiple connections

Is it possible or not? :?:

Anyone please?

Hi,

great program, thank you very much!

But there is one thing I cannot really figure out.

If I drag one directory to the remote ftp-server, there will be only one background-transfer started at the same time, despite I configured 9.
If I drag 5 selected files to the remote ftp-server there will be only one background-transfer started at the same time.
If I drag 5 selected files ONE AFTER ANOTHER to the remote ftp-server there will be FIVE background-transfers started at the same time. Great!

But how do I manage to upload an entire directory with many subdirectories with automatically the max. number of background transfers are being started automatically?

If have tried this over and over again, but couldn't find out how.

Thanks alot!
