What is the fastest way to upload files to Akamai?

I have an ftp directory with Akamai now and I need to u开发者_开发知识库pload images as fast as possible (possibly 1+ million per day)

What would be the fastest way to sync local files to an ftp site?

thanks


Instead of FTP, use Rsync. It has lower overhead than FTP and is well suited to synchronising a large filebase.

Rsync documentation

Akamai Netstorage supports Rsync as an upload method. It may need to be enabled in the Akamai control panel - whoever administers your Netstorage user accounts can enable it.

Rsync is included in all Linux distributions, if you are on Windows you can get it as part of cygwin.


1 million a day sure is a lot, its hard to imagine what requires having such a huge number resources. All I can suggest is solving this purely at the ftp sync level, using an off the shelf tool. (Maybe http://www.ftpsynchronizer.com/?)

Failing that, knocking up a directory watching ftp uploader wouldn't be a hugely difficult programming job in most common languages that have ftp libaries.

The other alternative is that if you can get these files on an internet facing server, you can switch to using Akamai Http Content Delivery and get Akamai to pull the images rather than you having to continuously push them.


if you have such huge number of files and you want to upload faster, then I would suggest going for 'signiant' product which improves the upload time drastically. its a 3rd party upload service which works with Akamai very well, many customers use it.
