Guest DeanB Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Hello all, I can transfer 50MB in 5 seconds using a mapped-drive connection between a PC and a DLink DNS323 network drive enclosure. This is using a wired 100Mbps ethernet and the common Linksys WRT54G router. However, to transfer the same data using the built-in FTP server on the DNS323 takes around 90 seconds, or about 20 times slower. Same LAN connection is used. I am wondering if XP is doing any security checks, or if its possibly an antivirus protection that decides an FTP transfer would be more risky. The data consists of around 20,000 small jpeg images. Not sure if this is itself a problem, I guess I should try to send a single file and see what happens. But all help would be appreciated. Thanks! Dean

I'll try this tonight, though from what I read about FTP and latency issues, it may just be the fact that there are so many files, each causing a round trip delay to the server. I wish I could zip up the files and transfer a single file.

As fotr zip, why "can't" do do that? 7-Zip is a zip file manager system that is "open source."
