Tweaking FTP file transfers

We have a need to FTP several large files nightly to one of our vendors.
These files are 350K and up and at times take hours to FTP from our 400 to
the remote server yet if we place these files on a Wintel box, they'll FTP
in minutes.

 

I'm wondering what on the AS/400 could be tweaked to improve the
transmission time.  Two things I've been looking at are the TCP send and
receive buffer sizes which are currently set to 1,000,000 (default value is
8,192).  Also I've found some jobs lingering in QSYSWRK, QTFTPxxxxx which
run at priority 25.  I could drop the class down to something equal to or
lower than my interactive subsystem but I'm not quite sure what these jobs
do and if changing their priority really would do anything.
