Re: FTP Speeds

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

They should be faster locally.  When I had a similar problem, it was a
duplex mismatch between 2 devices (switch and firewall).  You'll have to
start checking all the possible network links between the boxes for
speed/duplex/bad cables, etc.

I have several large files that I created in the IFS that I am now
downloading to my PC using FTP.   I files that I am downloading from the
System i are clocking in a 38.5 Kbytes/sec, which seems pretty slow to
me since the Ethernet line is configured at 100M and is set for full
duplex. I am on a 100 mb LAN and have been downloading files all morning
from the Internet at between 500 and 750 KB/sec.

Why would I be able to download from the Internet faster than from the
System i?  Downloads should scream locally, don't you think?
