Hi
First I wanted to say I love your product I used to have the paid for DAP, and when I discovered your product I found it brilliant and havent gone back to DAP!

I see that there is the option to get for FTP I wasnt aware of this until recently.

just a couple of questions on entering the FTP details as per the image above will the download be encrypted and is it secure to do this, or are my log in details vulnerable [I currently use Filezilla for this and the security is good, but speeds are getting slower for me]

What sort of speeds should I be looking at I have a 1 Gbps connection
Many thanks for your help and great product

As far as speeds - it's not just your connection that makes a difference. That FTP server also has a connection, and if their connection is slower than 1 Gbps then you're limited already by them

Next you have to consider the route that your connection is taking from your device through your network through your ISPs network to the Internet, as well as the same thing on the other end, and then throw in all of the connections on the Internet itself - the total of all connections being the full virtual route that you're taking from your machine to the FTP server. Next you have to consider what the FTP server's load level is, if they induce throttling at higher loads (or for multiple connections from a single source), and so many other factors, before you can truly understand what is a correct speed you should be achieving. I have Fiber to the House, and I get ~950 Mbps both downloads and uploads, which is well over 112 MBps in both directions - but I never actually see those speeds at most places. Some places I get DLs as fast as 100 MBps, some places I get only 25 MBps, and some places I get speeds as slow as 1 MBps. There is no way to know without knowing all of that above information and more, things like line latency, jitter, the loads on any given node in you virtual route, if any particular node (outside of the FTP server itself) is throttling connections....literally tens of data points that all have to be taken together to get a complete picture of what speed you may get from a single server. And there is even more than what I've listed, this just barely scratches the surface.

The rest can be answered better by the devs.

Hi thanks for the reply been using the server for years and speeds are very good downloading normally I like you have the same Fibre speeds and have done the tests to see what the DLs actually relate to and they are very similar to yours.
Hoping a Mod can answer the other questions re security etc

Thanksagain for your input it is appreciated
