Get has always been a lot faster then PUT. Put a monitor on the LAN and look for weird sending patterns. The 4.x FTP servers will stop altogether if you set the window under 1500 bytes. I don't know if its the server app or the stack, but its probably the specific application, as HTTPD seems not to have such problems. I think ftp was originally written by a chimp and no-one has really bothered to ever fix it (much like nfs). Its quite possible that socket changes in 5.x made a kludgy implementation not work as well as it used to. DT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
