The thing that bugs me about ftp is that if you have thousands of files it will prepare, check, upload, then validate each one, so even on my 20mbps connection it takes an hour to upload a 5MB script just because it has 15,000 or so files.

I did a search for a synchronous ftp client and found leechftp, I can upload a 5MB script in about 60 seconds with it because it actually uploads all files at once rather than preparing, checking, uploading, then validating each one before moving to the next one (which I don't see why all clients can just not do). However it has so many bugs it is almost impossible to use.

This is the only synchronous ftp client I could find.

Does anyone know of a faster way to install scripts and upload large clusters of files, or a good ftp client that doesn't prepare, check, upload, then validate each file before moving to the next file?

Take a look at WebMaestro

The only FTP program that I use is FileZilla (it's free). I am not sure if this is something that you could use.

webMaestro does not seem synchronous, how fast is it? I tried FileZilla, it still took me hours to upload a script. I am using CoreFTP at the moment which is similar to FileZilla.
