I think Ron's analysis of this is much in line with the scenario that I talked to Michele about off-line a week or so ago. She originally mentioned something like 2 hours for the upload. I created a similar number of files and of similar size and uploaded them to my own server. With my upload speed slightly slower than Michele's, I can't remember the exact time but it was something like 20 minutes or so compared to her 2 hours. Her web server is hosted by Charter Communications which is not known for being cutting-edge when it comes to providing quality web-servers. So the bottom line is that regardless of how you have Legacy create HTML pages, and regardless of which FTP client you use, you are still at the mercy of the processing speed of the host web server. If it is busy and overtaxed, or running on a slow processor with slow hardware, your upload times will vary greatly.
On the brighter side, just think of all the months it took you to get the info into Legacy. A few hours of upload is nothing compared to that. :-) Brian in CA -----Original Message----- <snip> However, during this time process the data has to be taken from you PC which also takes time and the Server then has to accept it and process it. You will see during the upload short waiting periods. Thus, the total time depends on the speed of your PC, the upload speed and the Server speed. You may like to think of it as downloading and installing a program, but with a much slower connection speed.
