FTP speed...

                Dear FTP Experts,

                I have a problem whereby on a 100mbps full-duplex (FD)
network connection, a 115mb file takes almost 50minutes when transferred
using FTP from a Win2000 client to a DS20 running Tru64 v5.1 pk5. Both the
client and the host are also set @100mbps FD.

                However, if I transfer the same file from the same PC to a
Win NT server (connected @100mbps FD) over the same connection (using
copy-paste on a share), it is done in 3mts. The network card on the Alpha
m/c was changed, but in vain. Any idea why the Alpha host could be
responding intolerably slowly, whereas the NT server is fast?
