hi... i've got a windows ftp client "ws_ftp (le)" that i'm using to connect to my linux box running (i think) proftpd. both boxes are behind the firewall, although they are both going through a switch... i was able to get (once) a throughput of ~600-700KBs for a few of the files. (i'm moving some ISO files) however, for the most part, i can only get up to ~65KBs on a consistent basis... within the ws_ftp client i do have a recieve/trasmit buffer size that i've played with with no luck. i also notice that when looking at the client, i see the port seems to be changing with every file that i send. i would have thought the ftp port would have stayed at "21". i can't seem to find a way/reason for not being able to get a much higher throughput on a sustainable manner... any real thoughts/ideas would be helpful.... transferring a couple of Gig of information at 50KBs is really painful... thanks -bruce
