@Aaron Singerman
Why not use Filezilla for FTP? It's free and extremely easy to use for transferring files.

I hope you guys have a safe and successful trip . I know this is off topic of the contest , but it does have to do with physical culture and training ( comparable to say Strongman ) and may interest some members here , especially in the strength or mma / Wrestling sections .
Delhi is home to many Gyms called Akhara's . Some of them are more like communities where athletes live and train to prepare for a style of Wrestling called Kushti . It is a lifestyle of extreme commitment , drive and discipline . This year a Kushti Wrestler , who was trained in the Delhi Akhara won a silver medal at the summer Olympic games in Freestyle Wrestling . A Female Kushti Wrestler also competed and just this past week won Bronze at the Worlds . They achieve this level of success with minimal equipment and a lot of hard work . The training tools they use are centuries old and can be described as leverage or Circular Training .
Attached you will see one of the many Akhara's in Delhi , a couple Kushti wrestlers smoothing the dirt ( which in itself is tremendous leg training exercise similar to common sleds used here but harder because of the dirt ) , Myself with one of my Gada's ( 51 lbs) and a Kushti wrestler with another , and finally Sushil Kumar the Olympian from Delhi . To look at the Gada most would think , LIKE I DID , " how hard can this be ." Well, in my years training I've never found more humbling training equipment than the Indian Gada and heavy Clubs . I've had some of my stronger weight training and wrestling friends try even the 50 pound gada or 22 lb clubs and have trouble even securing them in the first position .
If you happen to pass by on of these gyms I think it would be cool for any fitness enthusiast or athlete to check it out . It would be great to see pics if possible . Enjoy

Some random pictures (it's 2am here):
The airport terminal... MUCH nicer than Mumbai!
A one legged beggar who actually walked up the car and not waved his handed at Dave, but all his leg nub!
The traffic in india is absolutely insane. Imagine the worst traffic with the worst drivers you can imagine... Now multiply that by 10 and you have SOME idea of what I'm talking about.
Dave and I safely at the hotel!
