The Internet connection speeds and bandwidths are rapidly increasing around the world but there are still a considerable amount of Internet users -especially mobile phone users- who are on a limited quota in terms of the total bandwidth they can consume in a given month. Though there is no hard limit on the size of the files you can transfer via FTP, there are a couple of things that may create a limit, allowing you to transfer up to a certain maximum file size.
As a side note, I tried uploading a 7+ GB Zip archive and the upload started just fine neither my hosting server nor the FTP client gave any errors. What this means is that you can theoretically upload or download files via FTP with an unlimited size. Using an FTP software, free ones would work too, you can easily upload files to your website/server and likewise, download files from your website/server to your computer.įTP technology does not impose a limit on the number of files and the maximum size of the files for the file transfers, as the developer of FileZilla FTP client states in this comment. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an alternative method to HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) for connecting to computers and web servers to transfer files.
