Transfer Speed: Windows10 > Ubuntu...

#1 Post by rockandroller » 2022-09-18 00:34

My associate in another province complains of dismally slow transfer speeds from his Ubuntu filezilla. Transferring to the same remote server as him, i get great speeds on windows filezilla, always put it down to him having a slow internet connection.
Where I am here has excellent 1Gbps fiber internet, and all machines attached directly with gigabit ethernet.
Very fast transfers with the windows machines, always. Just recently put in an Ubuntu workstation and discovered the transfers on its Filezilla are about ten times(!) slower than the windows machine.
Both have the same internet speedtest results, fast ping, zero packet loss, etc!

Is there something hidden in linux machine configuration that I can tweak to get the filezilla transfer speeds back up to normal? Or is this just an unfixable bottleneck in the linux build?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Check your sysctl knobs for TCP memory limits.

Thanks!! Is there a good number for that, or just set to unlimited?

Unlimited may compromise your system stability. I'd just pick something reasonably large.
