FTP Network drive to host server transfer

[steelio]

Ok what I am wondering is if there are any FTP Programs that will take files from a network computer and transfer them to a server without going to my computer 1st.

I have 2 computers in a remote location. 1 has a network drive. The other is a server that has FTP running.
I want to transfer from the network drive to the server without going to my pc 1st. when I do this with WSFTP it takes forever to transfer.

Thanks,

You mean like on top of a mountain in the wilderness?

Couldn't you just use Virtual Networking like UltraVNC or even XP's Remote Desktop Connection to access the system and copy the file(s) over?

Close Denver!
I could do all of that, but I am dealing with not so saavy users and I already have FTP on the server set up.
And i' have taught them how to do the FTP.
And the computer that they are taking them from is a workstation that has a user working on it and they "do not have the time to mess with the transfer of files"

yes its called FXP
log into FTPs on both PC and transfer directly between them (bits never touch your line)
receiving server must allow PASV FTP connection to do so
use a program like FlashFXP

What he said. FlashFXP is my favorite non-free ftp client. Also, in case you were asking about the ftp server software you need, Bulletproof FTP is pretty nice. Just remember to enable PASV FTP connections as stated above (usually off by default).

It needs more than PASV FTP enabled, most server's these days reject attempts to initiate data connections between the server and any host other than the one owning the control stream. It's possible to do, but you need to open up both FTP servers to all kinds of neat attacks to enable it.
