I have noticed that for some strange reason, a file copied (MS XCOPY, not FTP) from the server to remote workstation over either the wireless OR wired link takes almost 3 times as long as the same file being copied from the remote back to the server. It's almost like I need some sort of network filesharing/transfer speed setting, drive performance, or other tweak on the server or hardwired NIC. A 1.5 GB file copies from the wireless remote to server in less than 1 minute, whereas copying the same file from the server back down to the remote takes over 3 minutes. Any ideas?
Check you network card settings on both the host and the client machine and make sure they are set at Full Duplex 100/100. I do this even if there is an auto option to ensure that the card is allowing incoming and outgoing at the same time at the max speed.
If you are running XP there are also registry settings on both machines that can be tweaked for better throughput performance.
I used this tool many times in the past.
