SwiFTP Server - low performance (100K/s)???

[Guest Pol Hallen]

Happy to use a server ftp to my desire.. borning a huge problem with performance speed of network (!)

On my debian I created an empty file of 10Mb of size:

dd if=/dev/zero of=10Mb bs=1024k count=10

lftp -u guest ip_desire

put 10Mb

10485760 bytes transferred in 120 seconds (85.2K/s)

85.2k/s??? is it correct? So, is the same speed of bluetooth.. :-( or there are some problems???

(the access point is in 2 meter near to desire)

thanks :-)

Never tried SwiFTP but I use quicksshd (0.99$ but well worth it) for SFTP transfers (Filezilla can do that), works quite well... I get 700 kb/s - 1 mb over wireless

I second quicksshd... Just got it a few days ago. Really good for both file transfers and terminal access. Showed it to a mate, he ran "shutdown now -h" I didn't find it too funny! :)

i just bought quicksshd to see the difference you are talking about and i must say i am not really impressed. with swiftp server i get 1-2mb/s transfer but with the quicksshd i maxed oiut at 1mb/s but it was around 600kb/s most of the time. it seems that the secure ftp is slower than ftp default for me.

I've been using swiftp for a couple of weeks and it works pretty well except for the ~1-2mb transfert rate. Actually i'm not sure swiftp is to blame, maybe it't the highest wifi rate the phone can cope with (any wifi transfer rate test available ?).

Lambrospower > secure ftp is ftp over ssh, which means the phone has to decrypt/encrypt on the fly, very CPU-time consuming, and more data overhead.

i just tried websharing and it's even faster than swiftp server.

I uploaded 3 files all of them were 100MB and uploaded with a average speed of 2MB/sec with SwiFTP
