Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG dear sir: I'm a new comer of freebsd, before this, I worked with linux for quite a long time. now I got a serious problem and I have no idea what I need to do, so please give me a hand: the system is a 'regular' pc with 16Mb ram and IDE HD, ISA ethernet card compatible with ne2000. please see this script, it's a ftp session from my freebsd to a remote unix: -- Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> bin 200 Type set to I. ftp> mget *dbf ^^^^^^^^^^download from remote mget ph0026.dbf? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Binary data connection for ph0026.dbf (203.70.70.14,40001) (11780736 bytes). 226 Binary Transfer complete. 11780736 bytes received in 12.64 seconds (909.89 Kbytes/s) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ it's very nice for 10Mbps net ftp> mput *dbf ^^^^^^^^^^upload to remote mput ph0026.dbf? y 200 PORT command successful. 150 Binary data connection for ph0026.dbf (203.70.70.14,40002). 226 Transfer complete. 11780736 bytes sent in 31.83 seconds (361.41 Kbytes/s) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^it's too slow! ftp> bye 221 Goodbye. -- so the problem is clear now, what causes the upload/download speed varies so much? I've tried to do the *SAME* thing on my old linux, and sorry about that, it's just good. is this an unavoidable problem? or my hardware is too low-end? thanks for your help (* I borrowed a e-mail account for this posting, so please reply directly to the list, not this mail!) sincerely Yours Silver CHEN 1998/3/10 -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
