I think we are talking bananas and apples here. If you read my message, I stated that after about 9 minutes of transferring the files, I stopped the XP to linux copy and it was still not done. About 1-2 minutes the other way around. HUGE difference. You are saying a factor of 2 the opposite direction of what I'm seeing. I'd be most interested in knowing how you got that. If I could even get a 2:1 factor I'd be most happy indeed! I don't have hours to copy something that should take minutes. makes a linux server rather useless for files no?
