There are a number of approaches. First most FTP clients will give you a running average of the transfer speed as it goes along, and a final average after the data has been transferred. This is probably the best. You can also monitor transfer speeds of your interface in general using something like IPTraf for short-term realtime checks, or something like MRTG for long-term bandwidth usage. I do not know if FTP servers maintain transfer speed information. I've stopped using FTP (except for anonymous file transfers) since SSH's scp and sftp have been useable. > Its because right now I had setup a windows machine w/ scheduled > dialer and FTP program that uploads a 4kb file on a regular interval > via dialup to an ISP, and we parse and record the logfile transactions > for the performance.

I don't wish to be crude, but I hope people will learn to respect the fact that we're a Linux Users' Group mailing list, and not a "Tech Support For Anything Under The Sun" mailing list. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc.
