http://serverfault.com – We have a remote ftp server setup in a geographically different network accessable from our network with VPN (PPTP). The VPN connection is limited to 4Mbit/s. We are downloading a specific file every day that is constantly increasing in size, but is currently at around 5 GB. When transferring files on my local terminal using FileZilla on a Windows platform, files always gets downloaded at maximum speed (4Mbit/s) and finishes in just over 3 hours. When downloading from a php script using ftp_get() on a linux server, the transfer is much slower and takes around 10 hours to finish. The transfer (HowTos)

Stories similar to Slow ftp transfer using php over pptp in linux

I've setup a server which I've connected to multiple PCs in my workplace. Sadly, data transfer speeds are at max 3 MB/sec per connection which works out slow for file transfers, especially when transferring large files. I'm using Windows filesharing and the server is a Windows Server 2008 (2 Ghz CPU, 1 GB RAM) and the client PCs mostly running Windows 7.

I am currently using a Server 2008 R2 box with IIS 7.5. I have IIS FTP+SSL setup and working properly with AD accounts. My issue lies in upload speeds. On a previous unix host FTP transfers were quick both with large files, and small files in any quantity.

I am currently attempting to transfer over 1 million files from one server to another. Using wget, it seems to be extremely slow, probably because it starts a new transfer after the previous one has been completed.

Question: Is there a faster non-blocking (asynchronous) way to do the transfer?

Hey everyone, I've got an issue with files transferring very slowly over a wired 100Mb network; only when the action is initiated by my Xubuntu machine.

I have a Samba server running on an OpenVZ VPS with a public IP. I also have a PPTP server running on the same server. I connect to it from a remote Windows PPTP client. I have everything working except network browsing. I can connect and see file shares on the Samba server using explorer and typing \\10.10.0.1.

Hi all

I did try to search the forums, but was unable to find any help on this issue.

I can easily transfer small files from my Windows 8 pc via USB cable on the MTP protocol to my samsung galaxy s3.

SMB | Speed Problem 23 weeks 3 days ago

Hello ,

I have a smb share on F17 x64 PC , which serves quite well for my home network over 1GB LAN connection. On Win PCs and other devices I can connect it without any problems.

Lately I have installed F17 on my own PC and tried to access the samba share on the fedora box, I have seen very slow transfer speeds while accessing my files.

I am trying to troubleshoot my home lan because of slow file transfer speed. I have 4 machines that all run ubuntu 12.04 and all experience similar transfer speeds on my network. I transfer a file to a pc sitting 2 feet away at about 3 MB/sec (Samba, nfs). 1GB network card, router supports 1 GB speeds, switch supports 200mb, full duplex on all machines.

Wireless LAN with a very slow transfer (rsync, scp) between the computers on that local network. Max. speed at 1.5 MByte/s. The router is D-Link DIR-615, with firmware DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/14/11) std. The computers on the network are all with Xubuntu 11.10. Any idea how to make the transfer between them faster?
