Cyberduck typically works great except with on particular server it is *dreadfully* slow (like 5 hours for 100 mb slow). I asked someone that knows more about ftp than I do, and he said it is likely something to do with passive transfers, and that I should "disable passive transfers".

I looked all around for this setting and couldn't find it. He said that "Captain FTP" should work correctly out of the box, so I tried it, and he was right. Took about 3 minutes to transfer that same 100 mb.

So ... does this "disable passive transfers" mean anything to anyone? How would I go about changing this setting? What could be different about "Captain FTP" if it isn't this setting?

Thanks!

I was in a bit of a hurry before and didn't check all the settings. Turns out the setting for "active transfers" was under FTP in preferences, and not Transfers, where I originally looked.

I haven't tested this yet but I assume this will fix the problem. I'll post again if it doesn't.
