Thanks for the suggestions. I tested mTCP ftpsrv again *) with these values:
MTU 1472 FTPSRV_FILEBUFFER_SIZE 16 FTPSRV_TCPBUFFER_SIZE 16 FTPSRV_PACKETS_PER_POLL 2 **) Now look at the results! Upload from Mac to DOS server real machine virtualbox EZ-NOS 2 75 sec. 4 sec. Datalight Sockets 61 sec. 4 sec. WATT32 ftpsrv32 21 sec. 11 sec. mTCP ftpsrv 15 sec. 2 sec. SwsSock ftpd 32 sec. 4 sec. PCTCP ftpsrv 60 sec. 4 sec. Download from DOS server to Mac real machine virtualbox EZ-NOS 2 154 sec. 135 sec. Datalight Sockets 70 sec. 4 sec. WATT32 ftpsrv32 31 sec. 2 sec. mTCP ftpsrv 15 sec. 1 sec. SwsSock ftpd 94 sec. 77 sec. PCTCP ftpsrv 187 sec. 7 sec. I think the numbers speak for themselves. mTCP ftpsrv seems to be the fastest DOS FTP server ever. regards Ulrich *) To mention it again, the test was done by copying a 8934148 bytes big mp3 file. Client was Filezilla 3.5.1 on a MacBook Pro 2011 with OS X 10.6.8. As servers I used a FreeDOS 1.0 installation in VirtualBox 4.1.4 (32 MB RAM) and a real machine (Compaq Contura Aero 4/33 20MB RAM). **) The value "FTPSRV_PACKETS_PER_POLL 10" you suggested slowed down the uploads to mTCP in virtualbox (7 sec. instead of 2 sec.). In detail the upload started, but shortly after the start paused for 3 or 4 sec. With the value 2 there was no such delay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
