What is the fastest way to upload files to Akamai?

Question

I have an ftp directory with Akamai now and I need to upload 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

Answer 1

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.
