RE: FTP from IFS using zip file

["Morgan, Paul" <Paul.Morgan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

Is the file received ok even though it takes too long?  Can the .zip file be opened on the other end?

Is there a firewall in between the two servers?  I've had problems with an old firewall between the servers requesting a lot of packet retries which slowed down the transfer.  The firewall didn't have enough memory & CPU to keep up with the packets sent from the sending server.  This could be a communications problem with dropped packets or small block sizes.  Try doing a traceroute and see what's in between the two servers.

Subject: FTP from IFS using zip file

Has anyone used FTP to transfer .zip files from the IFS to another server. I am having a problem with the file transfer taking an extremely long time to transmit.

Any help would be appreciated.
