So, what you're saying is that the problem isn't with Linux, or HiperSockets, or TCP/IP (as such) on z/OS, it is the z/OS implementation of FTP. Perhaps we just need a different/better tool to test transfer speeds. And perhaps someone needs to open up a PMR with z/OS support about the FTP performance issue. If it turns out to be a configuration problem, the "best practices" configuration can be reported back here. If it's a code problem, it can get fixed. Either way, everyone benefits.

I've never been able to get much (or any) better than what you have. I don't know why either. The only thing that's kept me from goin' round the twist was a little program called netpipe. A completely synthetic benchmark program, but it at least showed me that the hipersockets CAN acheive high throughput. I just don't know how to make it happen for FTP between Linux and z/OS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
