Hi,
I am generally on the FreeBSD side but we also have Linux machines on our
network. I run FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE on all the BSD machines that we have and
I am always a happy man until an issue comes up from the Linux side.
I am trying to move a 2GB file from a Redhat Linux to FreeBSD. I don't
want to use NFS!! I just wanna do FTP or something but since Linux has got
scp, I decided to use it. scp between Linux and Linux is okay, good
speeds, until I try=20

scp filename user@host:newfilename

Then issues get worse. Generally I can transfer the 4.3-ISO image from my
workstation (also FreeBSD 4.3) to any of our BSD servers at considerably
less time, minutes to be precise.That would be by FTP.

Does someone with experience in the 2 worlds know any reason why an scp of
a 20MB file between the Linux box and the FreeBSD server wants to take
hours???? The two machines are on same LAN segment, connected via 100Mbps
switch, and they both have 100Mbps capable cards.

Thank you in adavance.

-Wash

No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it.
