Re: FTP performance

Dimitri,

Try this as a test. from any windows PC, navigate to 
\qibm\proddata\ca400\express\install . Now Drop and Drop the image folder 
on to the desktop. Give it a few seconds to get started and then look at 
the estimated time to complete. it should be 3 to 5 minutes on a 100Mb 
connection.  I have found in many cases that the NIC in the iSeries 
doesn't setup the connection  very well with the switch it is plugged in 
to.  Now when this problem is there that time won't be 3 to 5 minutes it 
will be closer to 100 minutes.  You don't have to finish the transfer, all 
it needs to run for is about 1 minute. To fix this either hardcode the 
LIND on the iSeries to 100MB and FULL Duplex or do that to the switch.

I have also found that wayback in a site's history someone hardcoded the 
ethernet LIND 10 say 10MB Half Duplex and never fixed it once the network 
was upgraded

Anyway just a thought to check your throughput

FTP performance








 have to transfer more than a million files from Window server to AS400 
directory. Copy via Netserver was able to transfer only 100k files in 5 
days, so we stopped it. I think this is FTPs job.

Is there any difference (from performance point of view) if I will make a 
"GET" using FTP client on AS400 or better to start client on Windows and 
make "PUT" operation?

Thanks,

Dmitri
