FTP Speed Limit


Brandon

Recommended Posts

When transferring between two machines on the same private switch the fastest speed I receive is 35mbps. When transferring files through HTTP on the same network I am able to get 98-100mbps. Is there a global speed limit for FTP that I am not aware of?

 

 

 

I've tested on 3 seperate networks and the same speed limit is applied.

 

 

 

I see in the plugins FTP Manager.

 

 

 

Max Download Speed: -1 KB/s (-1 = No limit)

 

Max Upload Speed: -1 KB/s (-1 = No limit)

 

 

 

But the fastest I can get anywhere is 35mbps

 

 

 

Please advise.

I would imagine it can go as high as you set it. I'll have to ask Luis what the speed limit is internally wihtin the FTP software.

 

 

 

He might simply be able to add another placeholder or two in the ftp speed field sometime down the road.

The highest buffer that can be set is: 9999999 Bytes

 

 

 

And this increased the speed from 35mbps to aprox 55mbps. I'm not familiar with the FTP buffer settings or why it would be limited to a maximum of 9999999 Bytes.

 

 

 

To get full 100mbps the buffer would need to be: 13107200 Bytes

 

 

 

But in the box to edit the buffer it only allows 7 digits not 8.

 

 

 

Thanks!

Since most poeple work with slower net speeds, when that feature was added, it was not even thought that users may reach speeds of 10 meg +.

 

 

 

With the introduction of our internal networkig feature for FTP, it has allowed for higher network speeds.And with Gig type connections some people can pull even faster :smile:

 

 

 

I will assume the FTP software will handle whatever number you throw at it. So it should just be a matter of adding a placeholder or two in that field. I will have to confirm with Luis about this though.

With the default buffer of 65536 you should be able to reach 100mbps. This is my master server while I did an FTP install. Each server is in a different DC at the planet.

 

 

 

To get max speed you should use zip or rar. Transfering each file one by one it will never reach full speed since it's stopping and starting with each new file.
