Long time uploading PW

[lucas]

Hey guys,

Is it just me or PW takes a long time to upload on the server?

[onjegolders]

How long has it been uploading? I've seen it take up to 10 minutes or so...

Depending on your set-up there are some files (1000 or something). Using FTP it shouldn't be so long. I usually tar all files and extract them on the server. That's a lot quicker.

SFTP takes longer than FTP. There may also be settings in your FTP client (Filezilla etc) to open more connections and transfer more files at once. (Or does that only work when downloading? )

"git clone" takes about 3 seconds from the GitHub to whatever server I install it to. No idea how it can be that fast, but it always amazes me. Doing an rsync from my localhost to a web server usually takes 20 seconds or so. And that's with all the files (not an archive). With regular old FTP, I have seen it take a long time, but it was always due to a slow FTP client or host.

Hmm, could this be due to some kind of QOS/throttle settings at the host combined with your ISP pipe limit? With (s)ftp/rsync you are pushing to the server from your box through a relatively thin pipe (+ QOS filter?), when using SSH + git clone you are telling the webhost server to go pull files from github directly and both the webhost + github are both on fat pipes.

Dave is right that if you increase the number of connections in your FTP program it can go a lot quicker.

Some hosts limit the number of simultaneous connections but on my servers I frequently increase it to 20 connections and that allows it to go 20 times faster than with one connection obviously.

Yep, same here... and I'm using Transmit

In fact you spend 1/3 time uploading TinyMCE in PW and not PW itself

Him again!! One day we should replace him by a real Tiny http://www.scriptiny.com/2010/02/javascript-wysiwyg-editor/ (38kB)

[ryan]

Why is it called TinyMCE anyway? BigMCE or GiantMCE seems more appropriate?

[Adam Kiss]

@Ryan: Because each of the 2k files it has is tiny.

@OP: It takes me about 20-60 seconds, but that also includes me/bitucket HS, push, me/server HS, pull command, server/bitbucket HS and pull. But then again, I start it with one command.

This is also what I do. I always upload a compressed processwire folder, either zip or tar, and uncompress on the server. Takes no longer than a minute. If I don't do this, it takes forever.
