Downloading a file from ftp to local is very slow

Hi All,

 

I have job where i download the files from ftp to local and do file validation like zerobyte file, tot_rec_cnt, header matching. Today i tried to download a file with 25 millions of records and its taking close to 1 hour to download.

Im using tFTPGet component to download the file to my local D:/data/temp(folder structure).

 

Can anyone tell me is there any other possible ways or option to download from ftp to local, or do i need to do any settings to make the process fast.

 

Thanks,

Aarthi T

Hello,

Try to modify your job as follow:
tFtpConnection->onSubjobOK->tFtpFileList->iterate->tFtpGet

Additionally, you can use tsystem component and call FTP command directly.

Note: Make sure you have installed FTP application in your computer.

Best regards
