Info: FreeWay FTP is both an FTP server as well as an FTP client, but not a client that you are used to in the PC environment. The client uses a feature specified in RFC959 that enables any client to have control connections to more than one server (not just one as what is usually the case), with data connections being established between the two servers only (not via your PC), thus file transfer takes place directly between the two servers on the shortest route between them (by the way, this is where I get my idea for the logo of the three balls, one the client, and the other two the servers). Of course you can have your own server as one of the servers in your client connection to enable a local file copy to/from a remote host, or you could even have two connections to the same server to enable normal file copying on the same disk subsystem (Norton commander like). For this reason the tracking of file transfer progress is difficult.
