Which is why I am being coy. If you know anything at all about batch coding, the task is a trivial one.

Just the sort of answer that makes me want to help! (not)

This is dangerous code in the wrong hands. You have not said why you want it, and even if you did, I am not sure it should be posted here.

What do you think, carbon?

Post by: Carbon Dudeoxide on November 23, 2008, 05:59:40 AM: What kind of FTP test?

Maybe it's my lack of knowledge in that area, but do you need a file that keeps increasing in size to perform an FTP test?

I think he just wants a 1 gb file actually, it was me that introduced the notion of creating such a file by making a 1 kb file and doubling it 20 times.

See how the time increases as the file gets bigger. My cpu went up to 100% as well.
