transfer-rate limitation

Question

Hello,

Will the edtFTPj support in the future, transfer rate limitation? Like the set net:limit-rate down:up feature of the lftp client... Or, if you're not planning to develop that feature, could you give me some hints or advices on how to implement it myself? It is very important for me...

Thanks,
Tony

Answer 1

No-one has ever asked for it that I recall. What are your requirements? It might be a useful feature for us to add.

Answer 2

yes it would be very useful for an ftp api... and in fact i haven't seen that feature in any other similar java clients...

my requirements are simple.. i would like to be able to limit the download or upload rate of a file transfer.
something like a method FTPClient.setRateLimit(int down, int up).

Answer 3

Hello,

Do you have any news on this topic? Are you planning to add the feature into a future release?

Answer 4

No real news on this, but we have added it to our to do list as it is clearly a useful feature.

Answer 5

hello,

i'd be also interested in this feature, is it meanwhile implemented (in the .net version)?
couldn't find it, but maybe i've just not found it?

thanks!

Answer 6

We still haven't implemented this feature, but you can do it yourself by adding an FTPProgressMonitor and sleeping as appropriate in the bytesTransferred method.
