FTP Control for a Large file Upload

Question

User-1493117120 posted

I have a scenario which I am looking at where large files which are about 30-40 MB are being FTPed to a server. I am looking at creating a .net screen with the FTP control to upload the file to a Unix server. I need to know how much of a performance hit it is to work with such large files, is it a feasible option in this scenario? 

I might have to create a .net component for the same and call from ASP application. Is it doable?

I know that a WCF service will handle streaming large files to a server quite easily and efficiently with a host of communication protocols and hosting options.  I myself created a WCF service that streamed larges files from server to server quickly.  I moved a 12GB+ file across servers in less than 5 minutes using the service.  The point is that is quite doable.  Take a look at the following for more information:

Thanks for the reply but this would not address my scenario as I do have to work around with just a .Net component or asp.net web app built using .net page in .net framework 2.0. I am looking for something which would address this issue with the existing system.
