What would cause this file transfer slowdown?

http://serverfault.com – This screenshot is of me transferring a large file (a .VHD) from one logical volume (made of 2 spindles in RAID0) to another one (made of 2 spindles in RAID0) on the same physical machine. (This is not production so don't worry about the sanity of that hardware configuration.) I initiated the transfer via explorer.exe on a third machine on the same LAN, so some TCP protocol may be implicated in the crime here; I don't know. As the file transfer starts, it peaks out at around 220MB/sec, which is the speed I would expect from a volume to volume transfer on this machine, and then right about 50% (HowTos)

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 work at a company where third party contributors transfer files, typically by FTP, to our site.

Depending on which account the file is uploaded to, some scripts are triggered and the file is processed.

Usually the file is transferred via FTP to another machine, that does a specific job on the file, and then we monitor a "finished" folder on the remote machine and transfer it back.

The final s

For all my other Unix Virtual Machines, I use SSH and I use WinSCP to transfer files from my Windows Vista machine to the VM's.

Now, One of the VM's is using rlogin, What can I use to transfer files from my machine to the VM?

I use PuTTY to connect remotely to the machine, but that is through rlogin.

Please can someone help me?

Thanks.

I have ubuntu 12.04 and kde. I notice that a file transfer on a pen drive in windows with the software ExtremeCopy goes to 30/32 MB/s. Here in ubuntu the transfer on the same pen drive is at 10/14 MB/s. Obviously I use dolphin as file manager but maybe it's a problem with transfer file manager I don't know.

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'm running Xubuntu 12.04 x64 on an AMD 64 X2 4200 dual core 2.2GHz machine. I'm connecting to it via SFTP from my Windows machine over my 100mbps LAN, using FileZilla.

May I ask for a top 3 paid file transfer UNIX utilities to improve : automation, ease of use, and improve speed compared to BBFTP?

BBFTP is an inconsistent, unsupported, high maintenance file transfer tool.

ubuntu 12.04 Concerning gFTP.

I had to terminate a 8 hour file gFTP transfer about half way through the transfer because of a lightning storm suddenly happening at my location.

Can I have gFTP simply pick up where I left off in the transfer without having any corrupted data on the remote machine if I just tell gFTP to transfer the data again?

I'm getting a "Transfer timed out." error when I try to transfer a file using the following command,"tftp -4 10.94.161.170 -c get filename" These are the contents of my /etc/xinetd.d/tftp # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \ # protocol.
