Impossible to index an upload folder with 10k files

Axel,

I would recommend getting an SSH connection to your host. This means that you’ll get a command prompt that you can issue commands. Something like this if you have a linux server:

enter image description here

… once you have that, simply browse to your directory and gzip/compress the entire uploads directory:

tar -zcf mybackup.tar.gz uploads/

Then once that gz file is created, you can either download it via normal HTTP, or via you FTP client.
