Like the subject states, I'm moving from shared to vps, but I have to upload 2 gigs of data. The fastest connection I have available to me is at home and that's only about 768 k/bits up. The individual files can range anywhere from 1 byte to 33 mb, there are about 200 directories and about 12000 files. I tried it this past weekend via ftp, file by file, on 2 connections (anymore and my router was killing the connection) and it took about 8 hours. Should I compress the files so I can work up a pretty good burst speed? When I was on shared hosting, the file manager had a function that allowed us to send up zipped files which we could extract through CP, but I don't see a similar function available in Plesk. I'm going to try another upload tonight. Thanks!

Oops. Admins, please move to VPS hosting if it belongs in that group. Thanks.

I remembered there was an unzip command in Linux, so I decided to zip up the files and upload them via ftp. I hate the CLI, but I guess I don't have many other options at this point.
