[twsocket] FTP slow on NAS

[Allan Fernandes]

Hi,

I tried increasing the RcvSize to 8192 and the transfer speed has doubled.
Though this is very good the basic problem still remains 
Cases Tried :
1) Transfer to Drive Local to the FTPServer 5 Secs
2) Transfer to a Mapped Drive (mapped to another desktop) on FTPServer 10 Secs
3) Transfer to Mapped Drive (mapped to NAS Drive) on FTPServer 23 Secs.

Please Advice

Regards
Allan

Re: [twsocket] FTP slow on NAS

 1) Transfer to Drive Local to the FTPServer 5 Secs
 2) Transfer to a Mapped Drive (mapped to another desktop) on 
 FTPServer 10 Secs
 3) Transfer to Mapped Drive (mapped to NAS Drive) on FTPServer 23 
 Secs.

The bottom line is writing data across a network is slower than writing
to the local disk, your speeds probably reflect the times to copy a large
file between the local drive and network drives.  

ICS V6 FTP uses buffered I/O that writes much larger blocks, which may
help with absolute speed, but the relative speeds may be the same.  

You could also download the file to the local drive, and then copy it to
the NAS drive once it's completed.

[twsocket] ICS and SMTP secure connections

[Jeff Cook]

Hi 
 
I have asked here before and got knowledgeable replies but in my
ignorance of the inner workings of SMTP etc.  I have thoroughly confused
myself!
 
The problem I have is in the quote at the foot of this email about an
SMTP server requiring a secure connection
 
I have read on the Overbyte website about ICS-SSL and thought that was
the answer, but now I look again as far as I can see, ICS-SSL seems to
relate to https stuff and servers whereas presumably I need smtps on an
smtp client,  which doesn't seem to be mentioned. 
 
I found code at http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/TSmtpCli.Auth
(see below)
 
= 

Using open to handle all in one request 


The easiest way to use authentication is to use Open instead of Connect.
Open handles the Connect, EHLO and AUTH in one so that you don't need to
consider it. This is a typical call to open. 

 Smtp.Username := 'bob';

 Smtp.Password := 'test';

 Smtp.authtype := smtpAuthAutoSelect;

 Smtp.open



In your requestdone event you handle open and trigger the
mailfrom-metohd. 

=
 
So if I'm only working at the Client end, do I simply stick with the
standard TSmtpCli and handle the AuthType Property, using
smtpAuthAutoSelect if a secure connection is required and smtpAuthNone
otherwise?
 
Or have I got it all wrong?
 
Cheers
 
Jeff

=== the following comment came from our guy who does the user
support role in our company - Xtra is a major ISP in New Zealand =

With the advent of the Xtra / Yahoo shambles we are having Xtra
customers no longer being able to send email statements or normal emails
from APM (our application). Changes are being made to Xtra users systems
over a period of time so we will be suffering from creeping death.

The problem is that Xtra now want to use port 465 (just to be different
to the rest of the world I guess) and also use SSL.
We need to make these changes in the APM.

The following is an extract from their web site which probably is all
you need but if you want more go to 
http://xtra.co.nz/help?link=rdt and enter port 25 (no quotes) into the
Search Xtra Help box then Ctrl+F and search for Server Port Numbers
(no quotes)

Website Extract
Server Port Numbers 
Under 'Outgoing mail (SMTP)', tick the box next to 'This server requires
a secure connection (SSL)'. Enter port number '465' in the 'Outgoing
mail (SMTP)' field
