Default Re: Direct FTP - without using local pipe

Actually, Larry... a Site To Site Transfer (FXP) is exactly that; the data not only misses your harddrive but doesn't even come into contact with your modem.

Example: FlashFXP tells Server A it wants to Upload FILE, then FlashFXP tells Server B it wants to Download FILE and tells Server B to send it to Server A (instead of to yourself). Since Server A is expecting to receive a file, Server B is successful in sending it and both servers continue happily without any further help from your computer.

Hope that helps.
