FTPlib - how to optimize transfer?

[Niel M. Bornstein]

From: nbornstein at plr.com (Niel M. Bornstein)

I am using FTPlib on the Mac, and I am noticing binary uploads seem to go
very slowly.  Is there any way to optimize the block size or something to
speed it up?  Should the block size match that of the open() call used to
open the file?  What's a good block size to use, anyway?

Email replies preferred but I'll check back here too.

Thanks,
Niel
