The issue with your slow FTP connection is likely due to a network bottleneck.
The issue with your slow FTP connection is likely due to a network bottleneck.
She’s pulling data from your wired FTP server, but the connection remains sluggish. After switching to a Cat6 cable and using your wired Ethernet, the speed hasn’t improved much. The HDD she’s downloading from is likely the main issue—even though it’s at full capacity, the transfer rate still has plenty of capacity left. The problem probably lies with the hard drive’s read speed rather than the network connection itself.
Being on the same network makes Windows file sharing a better option. It seems like multiple files are opening at once, which forces the hard drive to move a lot and slows everything down. Just open files one at a time.
