Resume huge size file uploads via Mozilla FileZilla

How to Upload Huge Sized File via FileZilla ?


Have you ever tried to upload 2.0 GB or even bigger file via Filezilla? Sometimes, even if your server supports resume, you can't upload bigger files. After being uploaded like some 60%-80% your server disconnects and it never resumes.

When you retry, it starts from ZERO again - that's really really disgusting for any programmer or developer who is trying to upload new website to his server.


What's Fix ? 
I did face the same issue, searched over internet but didn't get answer. Most people told me to just go away as it's Server problem. However, my server did have resume option. It resumed sometimes, but once it went beyond 1.0 GB , it never resumed. instead it created some TEMP file like ".pureftp" etc.

After trying manytime, i got an idea, i was trying to upload file "www.zip" via filezilla. which was like 3.65 GB of size. So, i actually went to filezilla, and renamed the temporary file (already uploaded of some 1.8 GB) to "www.zip".

After renaming the temporary file, i tried to upload www.zip and mozilla asked me if i want to replace file ? instead i checked on resume.

File transfer started  and it's started from 1.8 GB :) That was bit trickier but it actually worked. Now i 'm just praying that uploaded file is  uploaded successfully and completely.
