Well... first, I guess you have to allow something for protocol overhead..
with ftp I would assume very little but 50 MB/sec is a theoretical value.
Also, how the measurement happened could affect things... I don't know how
you measured to the hundredth of a second... but if you included some of the
set-up or tear-down, then it would deflate the rate. I guess this isn't a
rate to get excited about but maybe not one to get mad about either. I
would see if you can get that error rate. If it's high, then I would look
for a problem.
