[twsocket] FTP Slow on NAS
Dear Sirs, Please do not give up on me ! At least give me a hint as to where I can look. My earlier mail was : I know writing data across a network is slower than writing to the local disk therefore I put in case-2 which is 10 secs. What I need to understand is why a copy to NAS drive takes more than double the time as compared to a regular mapped drive. All the more worry is that other FTP utlities (ws_ftp -> Bulletproof) copy to NAS drive with speeds faster than copy to regular mapped drive, as rightly it should.

The bottom line is writing data across a network is slower than writing to the local disk, your speeds probably reflect the times to copy a large file between the local drive and network drives. ICS V6 FTP uses buffered I/O that writes much larger blocks, which may help with absolute speed, but the relative speeds may be the same. You could also download the file to the local drive, and then copy it to the NAS drive once it's completed.

Hi, I tried increasing the RcvSize to 8192 and the transfer speed has doubled. Though this is very good the basic problem still remains Cases Tried : 1) Transfer to Drive Local to the FTPServer 5 Secs 2) Transfer to a Mapped Drive (mapped to another desktop) on FTPServer 10 Secs 3) Transfer to Mapped Drive (mapped to NAS Drive) on FTPServer 23 Secs.

Dear Arno Garrels, >>When I said "client" I meant the client object on the server side or : >>TFtpCtrlSocket, property RcvSize. It is available in ICS V5 as well. Will try first thing in the morning and get back. Dear Francois Piette, >>What usually slow down a lot network transfert is the display. If you have a >>display at each packet, you'll have very poor performances. Activity logging >>will also reduce performance. The performance falls down about 8 times and that too I do not have any display on each packet etc. that could slow down the speed, also please note that the speed is good when destination is the servers local drive.

Re: [twsocket] FTP slow on NAS
Hello Allan, I'm not sure whether this property is available in the version you are currently using, in latest ICS V6 the client has a property "RcvSize" that is used to size the receive buffer and also determines the file read block size, default value is 2048. What happens when you increase this value? For instance in 1024 bytes steps up to 8096? -- Arno Garrels [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html Fernandes wrote: > Hi , > > I have been successfully using TFTPServer + TFTPClient combination > with good results.

[twsocket] FTP slow on NAS
Hi , I have been successfully using TFTPServer + TFTPClient combination with good results. Now my need is to send data to a machine that has a NAS drive mapped onto it. Here the speed falls drastically. I have tried the following: 1) BulletProof FTP Server with mapped NAS as destination + WS_FTP Client, Combination transfers 10 seconds 2) ICS Sample FTP_Server with local drive as destination + FTP Tst as Client 7 seconds 3) ICS Sample FTP_Server with mapped NAS as destination + FTP Tst as Client slows down Speed (53 seconds) Below are the screens from the ICS sample programs Please advice Thanks Allan FTP Server Slow (NAS) * FtpServer (c) 1998-2005 F.
