Those of you who work a lot with moving data from one FTP server to the other, will just love this feature, which is pioneering on the MAC platform with ForkLift.

By default, when you copying data from one server to another, the files are usually copied to your own machine first, and are then uploaded to the target.

FXP Copy makes it possible to transfer the data directly between the two servers.

  1. open the two FTP folders in the two panels of Forklift
  2. select the files or folders you want to copy in one panel
  3. select Tools > FXP Copy or click the toolbar icon.

The copy operation is added to the Activity Viewer, but since the transfer is executed directly between the two ftp servers, the progress indicator you normally see will not show any useful information.


NOTE: Some FTP servers may restrict the use of this feature.
