Re: FTP Speeds

   What's your link speed? I dealt with 2 machines last weekend that were
   taking a long time to ftp the ptf bin files from one to the other.
   Everything was set at 100 full duplex except the link speed. I changed
   them both to 100M and bounced tcp and the lines.
    
   The 8 cumulative ptf's then came across in less than 10 minutes.

     Subject: FTP Speeds

     I have several large files that I created in the IFS that I am now
     downloading to my PC using FTP.   I files that I am downloading from the
     System i are clocking in a 38.5 Kbytes/sec, which seems pretty slow to
     me since the Ethernet line is configured at 100M and is set for full
     duplex. I am on a 100 mb LAN and have been downloading files all morning
     from the Internet at between 500 and 750 KB/sec.

     Why would I be able to download from the Internet faster than from the
     System i?  Downloads should scream locally, don't you think?
