Well ftp is more efficient for me so I think I am going to take this script with the cp command in it and modify it to an ftp and call it a night. With the cp command it takes almost 6 hours to copy 17 GB (do your math) with the ftp command and same file (a tar backup) 45 minutes.

When running a 'cp' from one lan to another over a 100MB circuit my bandwidth utilization is 3MB but when running a 'ftp' to the same destination I utilize over10MB of the same circuit? Why would an IBM AIX cp command be so different from an IBM AIX ftp command as far as same files to the same locations over the same networks?? Doesn't really make any sense to me??
