BufferSize property
Determines size of incoming and outgoing buffers.
Type
A Long value. Specifies buffer size.Syntax
object.BufferSize [= value]
The BufferSize(object,value) syntax has these parts:
| object | An expression evaluating to an object of type wodFtpDLX. |
| value | A Long value. Specifies buffer size. |
Remarks
Using BufferSize property you can force wodFtpDLX to use predefined buffer size for receiving and sending* packets between wodFtpDLX and the server. Usually, larger packets will give you faster transfers, but this can also depend on your connection speed, and on server's capabilities.
Besides speed of transfer, this value also determines how many times
Progress event will be fired during transfer. If you're on slow connection and need Progress event to fire more times, lower BufferSize value. Internally, Progress event is fired after each packet sent/received - so making lower packets causes higher Progress event rate.
If you set BufferSize to 0 (default value), wodFtpDLX will internally adjust its buffers to match server's. Usually, this will be 32k buffers for SFTP, and arround 128kb for other protocols.
Please note that size of receiving buffer in FTP(S) protocol(s) is fixed and cannot be changed - because wodFtpDLX will receive all the data that arrived on the socket.
