FTP limits - mput *

I am trying to upload via FTP 11,000 files in a Solaris 8 system. I am using Windows 2000 and its FTP client to upload the files. The command used is mput *.jpg.When the quantity of files reaches 10,000 the upload aborts.
Is this problem related with the FTP client ? If yes, another FTP client can solve it ? If not, what can I do to fix this ?

Thank you!

Why not create a zip file of the 11,000 jpg files and upload that? Solaris 8 comes with gzip/gunzip.

Thank you. I discovered that this is a limitation of the Microsoft FTP client. Its limit is 10,000 files. I am following your recommendation and trying to find another FTP client without this limit.
