of course, there is encryption overhead involved in doing any secure ftp. do you notice any collisions? are you doing the same type of transfer from w2k to w2k as you are from w2k to freebsd? can you give us some numbers to compare with, its difficult to understand what you mean by "slow". changing the card in freebsd to do FD should have made a huge difference. please provide some more info. thanks jason > I was able to change it Full-Duplex but it still transfers at very slow > speeds it didn't make any difference. > > > > >Subject: Re: Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex > > From: Jason P Holland <jholland@cs.selu.edu> > > Date: Mon, 27 May 2002 18:52:07 -0500 (CDT) > > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > Cc: "E.J.Cerejo" <ecerejo@zapo.net> > > > > > >> I'm getting very slow transfer speeds using psftp that came with PuTTy > >> between a FBSD box and Win2k laptop and I'm using a crossover cable.
