I have a fairly recent hamm installation, and I connect up to my work using pppd 2.3.2 via a (Chase Iolan) communications server. I've set my domain name to be the same as the local domain at work, so my machine appears much like any remote node on my work subnet.
I've been seeing some very bad FTP xfer rates recently, but only in one direction. For example, I transferred a 1756274 byte binary in 591 secs (2.9 Kbytes/sec) when xferring to work (i.e. "put"), but when I try to xfer data the other way (i.e. "get"), it slows to a crawl. The transfer is characterised by a few-second-long burst of activity every minute or so (with no PPP traffic between bursts), until the peer becomes bored and resets the connection. Questions: 1/. Is there anything about the hamm S/W that might contribute to this? 2/. Could my permissions/authorisations (or that of my work network) mean that xfers in one direction require more authentication than those that occur in the other? 3/. Where is the best place for me to start investigating this? Many thanks for your help, -- Phil -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
