The Direct Download Manager is another feature exclusive to the AW GRUP Control
Panel. It helps you save several hours of your valuable time by allowing you to
download files to your web space directly from another server via a HTTP URL or
FTP URL.
If you need to transfer large files to your web
space that are already available on some other server, then you would typically
have to download these files locally to your desktop and re-upload them. All of
this could take up quite some time depending on the file size and your Internet
connection speed. However, using the server-to-server transfer facility provided
by the Direct Download Manager, you can utilize the server's high speed
connection to directly download large files. So, even if you are connected to
the Internet via a dial-up connection, file transfers will occur at the very
high speeds.
This feature is most useful when you are transferring your Website data from
your previous Web Hosting provider, as you could just zip up your whole website
and instead of downloading it locally to your desktop, directly download it on
the server and unzip it there.
