Re: Speed of FTP download was: Cumulative PTF package downloaded

Hi, Rob:

When you use FTP to download directly to the IFS, all you do is add those images to the image catalog and you are "ready to go" (LODPTF, etc.)

When you download the iso images to the PC, you must then either "burn" them on CDs or FTP from your local PC to the IFS, in order to add them to an image catalog, before you can issue LODPTF, etc.

Unless FTP directly to the IFS is at least twice as slow as FTP to a PC, (which it is not, in my experience), I don't think this is an issue.

Has anyone done some time trials in the office between ftp from their pc and ftp from the i to see if the pc was consistently faster than the i on these ptf binaries? Point being, if the i is consistently slower than perhaps a pmr should be opened up and if the results are not what one wants then open up a DCR.
