I tried your suggestions. 2.2.7a helps, but not enough. FTP works just fine to either server. Here are the numerical results thus far:

data: MP3 file, 18564299 bytes

using FTP (OS X client=NCFTP)
-----------------------------
Linux (server=ProFTPD): 38 seconds
Windows (server=WFTPD): 45 seconds

using SMB (OS X client=native OSX mount point)
----------------------------------------------
Linux (server=Samba 2.2.3a-12 Debian): 6 minutes, 9 seconds
Linux (server=Samba 2.2.7a) : 5 minutes, 21 seconds
Windows (server=native Win2k server) : 1 minute

There's still something going on. Any suggestions on what to check next?

Thanks,
Jeff

Any chance you can try 2.2.7a, we fixed a number of transfer problems
(mostly with w9x and DOS tough), and then report if it happens again.

Ah remember also to check the network (try an ftp transfer from both w2k
and debian, it has happened many times that a bad cambling, network
setup or failing interfaces has caused slowliness.

I have an Apple iBook running OS X 10.2 connected to my network via an 802.11b wireless network. When I transfer files via SMB with my Windows 2000 computer, the speed seems reasonable. However, when I connect to a share on my Debian (x86) box (kernel 2.4.19) running Samba 2.2.3a-12 for Debian, the speed is only about a sixth as fast (transferring files to or from the Win2k box is about 6 times faster).
