I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. More recently, noticing so many positive reviews around the web for FileZila, I decided to take a closer look at what the latest iteration of the software had to offer. In this scenario, the MGET command fails.

The apps experienced the usual timeouts that you would expect when the computer sits there for 15 to 30 minutes, transferring massive files. You use the FTP.exe utility to connect to the FTP site, and then you run the following command to copy the Test.txt file to the local computer: MGET /Test/.txtNote The FTP.exe utility is the command-line FTP client that is installed by Windows. Mark covered the FTP file transfer client FileZilla in 2007, and noted some problems that a large number of FTP clients had hiccups when it came to large file transfers. It feels like you have less control, and therefore much less power over what's going on. Luckily there exists a way to still be able to upload your files to Nextcloud using the command line and Curl. But sometimes the need arises to upload files from machines that dont use a Graphical user Interface (for example Ubuntu Server distribution). I guess it's sort of like how a person that drove a car with a standard stick-shift for years has such a hard time graduating to an automatic. With one click you can upload your files to your personal cloud and share them.

While the idea felt pretty exciting, I constantly found that those FTP tools were lacking. After using 'GET' and 'PUT' commands for so many years, it seemed a bit awkward to start using point-and-click FTP file transfer clients, which offered the promise of never having to type another FTP command again.
