The Windows (NT4) ftp client has an option (-w) to set the buffer size for
transfers. This seems to work (it significantly increased performance on
our ATM network) (although on NT4 we can't go past 64k, of course).
C:\>ftp -?
[...]
-w:buffersize Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 4096.
Why, oh why, do they do this....
You haven't said anywhere how you are doing file transfers? ftp, smb, http,
... ?
Cheers,
Markus
