On my systems FTP is still faster than IND$FILE, but let me just throw out a little tidbit for consideration.
On my own Personal Communications sessions that use IND$FILE for transfers, I found a very noticeable increase in speed if I defined my connections using the numeric dotted IP address for the host instead of a host name that got resolved through DNS. I can't explain why. I can only report that someone once suggested that to me and it did make my IND$FILE transfers faster. YMMV. --Roger ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
