Hello, I have more info on my specific problem.
pop 1) RedHat 7.3, fs1 fs3 pop 2) BSD/OS 4.3.1 www files rsync version 2.6.0 protocol version 27 fs1 --> fs3 500kB/s fs1 <-- fs3 420kB/s fs1 --> www 20kB/s fs1 <-- www 20kB/s files --> www 2.9 MB/s files <-- www 4,4 Mb/s This shows that within their own networks, there is no problem. It is only between the two pops. The machines have a enough RAM and speed. I always keep enough RAM so that it never has to swap. The times are for a single 10 MB file. I have tried with and without the -a option and that doesn't seem to make a difference. I would be surprised if it did. The interface on the RedHat side is set to 10 Mbps FD. The interface on the BSD side is 100Mbps FD. The Redhat pop gives you a 10 Mbps link and you can use as much as you can get. There is no limit on the BSD side. That is probably the reason that the transfer rates between fs1 and fs3 are somewhat lower than files and www. rsh is the shell, not ssh yet. The lav on the machines is less than 0.05. There is an external firewall (pop main cisco router) on the BSD side. These are the generic args: permit icmp any any echo permit tcp any any established permit udp any eq domain any permit udp any eq ntp any Specific args: permit tcp any gt 1023 host 66.205.95.230 gt 1023 permit tcp any host 66.205.95.230 eq www permit tcp any host 66.205.95.230 eq 443 permit tcp any gt 1023 host 66.205.95.230 eq ftp permit tcp any gt 1023 host 66.205.95.230 eq ftp-data Thank you for reading this, Rick ps. mirror... 8-) -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
