I have a local and a remote PC. In both case opening FTP port is not allowed.
They both run Windows 7, with a VPN connection.
Copying a single large, compressed file (2G) is very slow using xcopy.
I tried using cygwin copy, but that runs at a similar pace.
Are there any tricks to doing this faster?
So basically you’re stuck with Windows File Sharing, correct? – Daniel B – 2014-05-19T13:04:17.030
OOC, how fast is it transferring? – Keltari – 2014-05-19T13:24:45.403
Tricks? Yes, you need more bandwidth. What is the up/down speed of the local PC and what is the up/down speed of the remote PC? – MonkeyZeus – 2014-05-19T13:29:20.060
My speed appears to be 1.0 Gbps, but when I look at Task Manager, the network utilization is only 0.08% – ManInMoon – 2014-05-19T13:44:31.010
1 Gbps is the maximum bandwidth attainable internally with the cable/router combo that you have. You need to figure out what is your ISP allowing you. I will assume it is about 15 down and 1 up Mbps which would explain why a 2GB file is taking so long. There is absolutely no software which will fix this for you, you simply need to pay for more speed. – MonkeyZeus – 2014-05-19T15:35:36.490
