[NTLUG:Discuss] File transfer speeds

[MontyS@videopost.com]

I am using pure-ftp with no problems.  I use to use wu-ftp.  Found pure on
google, but I can't remember the url.

(233Mhz box, 128meg ram, RH 7.2, latest kernel)

The install is simple, config file is easy to decipher and has a lot of
useful handles.  Chroot is already set up.  Seems to be much more solid in
that indefinable sort of way.  Also seems to be more secure than wu-ftp.  (I
know, secure is relative:>)

	Pinging from 192.168.0.4 (Linux box) to 192.168.0.2 (Win98 box) I
get:

	bash-2.05a# ping 192.168.0.2
	PING 192.168.0.2 (192.168.0.2): 56 octets data

	--- 192.168.0.2 ping statistics ---
	9 packets transmitted, 9 packets received, 0% packet loss
	round-trip min/avg/max = 0.2/0.3/0.4 ms
	bash-2.05a# 


	I guess there's just a lot of overhead involved in the
	encryption/decryption process.  A lot more than I would have
thought.

	What FTP servers are out there, and what would be an appropriate one
for
	me to set up on the Linux box?

	Marty: Is it any louder?
	Nigel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten.
