Hi guys! I have a server on a rather reliable network, with 1Gbps connection upload verified by different connections over the same area. However, in some countries where the connection is very unreliable, the connection slowly dies, and stays dead halfway through the transfer. Is there any client which would be prepared to adapt or detect an unreliable connection, and retry/resume as soon as it happens without losing the transfer? I find filezilla sometimes tends to stall halfway through, and it stays…hung without doign much. And sometimes after restarting the connection, it just overwrites the file from the beginning without prompting. Is there a better system or client to transfer large files in a resumeable way over the internet?

Thanks!

    I use syncthing to keep my photos from tablet backed up to server as I travel and stuff. But its more for a lot of smaller files and not one big file that might stop halfway

      Thanks…I’m actually considering this as an option, but it would make it a bit more…indirect than what I was intending to do, as it syncs a pre-defined folder, not specific files at will. But definitely I know it to be reliable transferring lots of files reliably.
