Dear Stacey,

Thank you for your excellent way of explaining the intricacies of tcpdump.

Well, it showed nothing on port 21 -- I presume because data goes over port
22. But your remark is quite perceptive nonetheless, as I suddenly realized
I am not doing FTP; that is, not directy: SSH2 is doing FTP. So, I dropped
SecureFX out of SSH2 mode; and lo and behold, uploads are now around
~1800K/s! :) Rather peculiar; but a relief nonetheless, as, at least I know
the likelihood of having to deal with some spurious hardware problem has
decreased.

True.

99927 packets received by filter
135 packets dropped by kernel

---------------------------------------------

Hmm, is the packet-loss something I need to worry about? About a 0.14%
packet loss. Although I do not see why any packet should be lost (or are
they?), this can still not account for the discrepancy between ~1800K/s
upload vs. 2700K/s download. But I can live with speeds like that. :)

Thanks again for all your help, and to all others who contributed.
