CuteFTP Professional User s Guide 

Throttles the bandwidth of all sessions on CuteFTP. To set a bandwidth throttle, adjust 

Global bandwidth limit: to the number of kilobytes per second you want to limit CuteFTP 

to.  If set to 0 (the default), there is no throttling. 

Reconnect and resume in n seconds, if nothing is received 

Select the time that CuteFTP waits to try again after an interrupted or failed 

download. Select a time between 0 and 1,000 seconds (about 17 minutes).  

Roll back (retry at byte offset) n bytes when resuming transfers 

Select the number of bytes prior to the transfer failure CuteFTP resends when 

attempting to finish an interrupted transfer. Select between 0 and 65536 bytes. 

Send REST command prior to APPE when resuming a transfer 

Select this check box to send the REST (Restart) command to resume a transfer, 

before sending the APPE (Append) command. 

Clear this check box to send the APPE (Append) command to resume a transfer 

without first sending the REST (Restart) command. 

Receive and send buffers 

Default setting for both send and receive is 65536 bytes. It is unlikely you will ever need to 

adjust these settings, but if you have problems with dropped transfers, you can use them to 

fine tune transfers over high latency or lossy connections like those over satellite links or 

with legacy CDMA wireless connections. For more, see Tweak the send and receive buffers 

in Improving Slow Transfers. 

Tip: 

Most of these controls are intended for advanced users only. For 

example, the REST/APPE sequence is only intended for problem 

servers that don t support the proper resume sequence. Transfer type 

should only be changed when you need to force files to transfer a certain 

way. The data port mode should only be changed if you are having 

problems establishing a data connection (on LIST or RETR for 

example). Limiting the local port range can have adverse affects when 

transferring many small files over a narrow range of ports.
