ABSOLUTELY agree. SMB is not really good at WAN communications.
FTP will almost certainly clobber it in transfer time.
Consider CHGTCPA to larger buffer sizes too for the longer distance
(latency) involved.

(IBM i 7.1)Windows
We are currently testing a file extract process on IBM i which builds a
UTF-8 text file in the IFS and uses the CPY command to copy the file to a
folder on a Windows server via QNTC.

Server is in the United States...)times.
The text file contains 6 million rows, file size is 3.5 gb, and the CPY
takes around 14 hours to complete.
One of the consultants has suggested using FTP instead of CPY to move the
data. His claim is that the SMB protocol used by QNTC has much more
overhead than FTP.
We have not tested the transfer using FTP yet to compare the transfer

Anybody have knowledge/experience to support or refute this claim?
