HOD 14.0.2 Secure FTP with JSSE enabled - Issue with performance

When using HOD 14.02 secure FTP with JSSE enabled there is a noticeable performance issue. Performance means that the rate at which files gets transferred is very slow compared to other FTP tools. HOD tends to process the transfer of files singularly -- meaning that HOD FTP has to wait for a file to be fully transferred before it starts processing another file.
This is cumbersome for a user who needs to transfer a large set of files causing the effort to take a significant amount of time.

    This issue is especially problematic when transferring 100+ files partly due to the fact that HOD puts up a dialog for each file and because it is unable to process more than one file at a time even if the server can handle multiple files at a time. There should also be an option to set the number of concurrent transfers if multiple transfers at the same time is part of the performance changes. The developers should look at products like FileZilla to see what a properly designed FTP client can do.
