I work from home on a dsl line and I've found that transfering large files (50k+) over samba is about 50 times slower than using ftp. anyone know why? Is this typical? thanks Fred
What is the client OS, and what version of Samba? Some Samba versions had a slowdown problem when communicating with Windows 95 and (I think) Windows 98. I think this was fixed before 2.2.2, but I'm not certain. -----Original Message----- From: Fred Jackson [mailto:fred@arkansaswebs.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 8:58 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: speed of transfers?

Interesting, as my work involves copying to the server, and is REAL SLOW.
