Is There A Fast Way To Upload Joomla! ?
February 4, 2010 under FAQ
i’m trying to upload it via ftp but since there are too many files it takes too long to upload… and i read about it somewhere that there is another way to upload them in a fast way.just can’t find the source now.
if you don’t know the answer, can someone at least tell me if there will be a difference if i disable “passive mode” on my ftp manager.

The fastest way to load any script , joomla , magento, x-cart, oscommerce , etc etc… is as follows , Go to your Hosting Cpanel, open File Manager / Root directory of the website ,where you want to install the script , upload the whole script as zipped single file, upload may take 5-10 mins , max, depending on your internet connection,once its upload , single click on the zipped file which you have just upload in the hosting panel, and right on top find the menu option extract, thats it , and your full script is uploaded , Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/install/install.php . or what ever. and its done in max 10 mins. Good Luck
well if you have shell access there, upload it zipped or tarred. The problem is that joomla has like 1000 small little files that require opening and closing a ftp transaction for each one. FTP is not efficient at that. Otherwise, you are just going to have to wait.
I’m too lazy to type out a full answer to this question. Instead I’ll tell you to go read the answers in the Joomla forums. http://forum.joomla.org/ You do not need to be uploading a whole bunch of files.
Passive settings in ftp, off or on will make no difference to your transfer rate, that is controlled by the server you are sending to and your own connection.
