WebShare Graphical FTP Interface
Oct 18th
WebShare has been developing this software for some time now. Previous version have been rather interesting, and the most recent version (labeled alpha) is even more so. The interface is graphically stunning, intuitive, and powerful. The idea changes the way ftp is presented to the end website user. No longer is ftp limited to a ftp client running as a local program. WebShare allows anyone with a browser connection to utilize ftp based functionality without the need to install a local ftp client applcation. http://en.webshare.fr/ While many people do not necessarily need ftp services, it is indeed very use when needing the ability to access files from many locations. Why lug the files with you when you can just remotely access them in a graphically appealing way? Also the borwser application has built in photoviewing, audio playback, and savvy right click menu options. Its sort of a webOS. I likes 
FTP – Binary or ASCII Data Transfer
Dec 14th
On my Linux servers binary data transfer always worked fine. I also host a website on Yahoo and the binary data transfer method does not work. Although when I switched the FTP transfer method to ASCII the data is properly transferred to the Yahoo servers. I’m pretty sure that my Yahoo hosting is Windows based, and since my personal hosting is Linux based it may be that binary data transfer is for Linux and ASCII is for Windows.
Debian VirtualBox Unstable After SSH or FTP Connection
Nov 28th
I use FTP and SSH to conntect to, and transfer data from my virtual server. It tends to become unstable promptly, and cause the loading of a timing module to attempt compensation. With large files the virtual server will crash, and with small files it will cause the virtual server to consume its available RAM allocation with cache. For instance I would connect to my virtual server via FTP, and then the next morning the server would be crashed. Now that I am aware of this condition, I have taken notice that the virtual server boots fine. The memory managment is fine prior to an FTP or SSH connection, therefore it is simply recommended to restart and VirtualBox guest OS after such a connection.
Home Networking with Linux
Nov 23rd
Gnome offers in its top panel an applet to configure graphical, folder view FTP and SSH connections. This easily implements a type of home network that is capable of transferring files back and forth between multiples computers. While FTP is substantially faster, SSH is increasingly secure; its a trade off. Overall the graphical aspect is uncomparable, and simply superior to the traditional FTP client, or terminal based SSH connection or SCP transfer. The following is a screen shot of the Gnome Panel graphical networking configuration menu. 
RAM and Server Speed
Nov 14th
There is a direct proportion between the two; simply the more RAM the more speed. With 512 Megabytes I have observed FTP transfers at 10 Megabytes per second, and SSH transfers at 5 Megabytes per second. Obviously your router is capable of 54 Megabytes per second therefore, theoretically with enough RAM you can attain relatively high data transfer rates. This is especially amplified on a LAN whereas across the internet connection will decrease in speed significantly. Cheers to speed
Networking via FTP or SSH
Nov 14th
I have observed at times FTP to be faster than SSH, but at other times I have observed the contrary. Because of this the only distinction that can be used to choose one over the other is the encryption component of SSH. For instance I use an SSH connection for my IMAP mail server when I am away from home. At home the encryption component is not necessary especially when working on a private network; in this case the use of one transfer protocol over another is a matter of choice.
