Netbeans 7.2 FTP is incredibly slow

Question

I just created a new project that connects to a remote website to edit the files. It's been 10 minutes and it still hasn't finished downloading.

The site is no bigger than 30mb and I have a decent internet connection.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Answer 1

Verify what NetBeans is doing exactly (in IDE log, in the Output window). Also try to switch Passive/Active mode on/off.

in my log when I upload Netbeans is NOOPing mostly, then after a minute of freezing all happens rapidly, in desired time. On FreeBSD 9.1 – Sin

Answer 2

Yes, for me too.

I've just uploaded a project with Netbeans and it took 4:47 minutes. I've done the same with FileZilla and it took 1:48 minutes.

I think it's because it dones many other operations. For example, uploading the same file:

Netbeans:

  ...
RNFR forms.php
RNTO forms.php.old
Rename successful.
RNFR forms.php.new
RNTO forms.php
Rename successful.
DELE formus.php.old
File delete OK.
  ...

Filezilla:

  ...
Command: put "P:\Projects\...\forms.php" "forms.php"
State:   Successfully transfered, transfered 4.096 bytes in 1 seconds
  ...

They should let us configuring this behavior.

It may be slower but is advantageous and I wish FileZilla had an option to turn this behaviour on because if a client is requesting the page you are uploading at the time then they will most likely receive an error about an unexpected end of file. As far as I can see, the way netbeans is handling this will prevent it. I could be wrong, but see here: [link]#10843954 and also [link]trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/4004[/link] – Manella
