IIRC the hash size is unqiue to each ftp client and some clients don't have the hash command.<br />
<br />
So as long as you use the same client every time you should know how many bytes each hash mark represents.<br />
<br />
What ftp client are you using?

What ftp client are you using?

<div>
The <a href="ftp://ftp.exe" rel="ugc">ftp.exe</a>.<br />
Platforms are win2k, winxp, vista and currently win7 (rc1).<br />
The difference appears to be between vista and xp/win7.<br />
Do you mean that the packet size is built-in and cannot be changed? &nbsp;In that case I will need to find out the platform of the customer and derive the size from that?<br />
Thanks<br />

The ftp hash command prints a # for every packet downloaded. However &nbsp;I have seen that there are different packet sizes used (1024 or 2048 bytes) across platforms which renders tracking the ftp progress inconsistent.<br />
As we use ftp to download large files in the background I need to track download progress, and counting the number of #'s appeared the best solution.<br />
Is there a command in ftp that allows you to define the packet size for the hash command?

Customize hash packet size for ftp

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.
