Hi,

When I copy a large file from a windows XP pro computer to a windows
2003 server that are both connected through a VPN with a 4mb/s link, I
only get about 200 kB/s (1.6 mb/s) when copying through a windows
share (smb). If I use FTP I get 3.7 mb/s which is fine. So what gives
with the slow smb? any workarounds around this slowness?

Thanks and cheers,
Tobias
