well, while we're having this discussion, it was an audio file i had just created. it was time sensitive, ie, i wanted to listen to it in the 30 minutes or so i had available. going to dropbox would have taken a transfer and from dropbox to me would have taken a transfer, hence longer than just going direct. FTP would have been fine but i don't have an ftp server setup at either place. going to an ftp server then coming back here would be the same thing again - albeit if it actually transferred at 60 meg instead of 1.5 it could have been quicker. but again, going two places, didn't seem quicker (instead of going direct)
logically i was let down when the transfer didn't utilize all of the available speed :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Josh Luthman To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2015 6:51 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] ok - so i bet this is a mystery no one has an answer to FTP seems right for File Transferring.

The only part of this I would use RDP for is to log into the remote computer and upload the file to Dropbox or send it via some variant of FTP to a server at the office.

I'm trying to copy a 75 meg file using remote desktop from the office to my home. The office computer has symmetric up and down - it's one gig fiber. My home computer (download) is 60 meg down 4 meg up (charter cable) Studying office network traffic it's only moving at 1.5 meg. Why isn't it going faster? Is there is a tweakable way?
