- We have at our site several pcs working in conjunction with equipment
- from Molecular Dynamics. These pcs receive images that are 20 to 40
- megabytes in size. We use Vaxes running multinet for some of the analysis
- of these images and are looking for fast methods for transferring these
- images. So far we find that pc->vax ftp transfers are enormously slower
- than the 256 kb/sec vax->vax file transfer. In the case of PCNFS, file
- transfers from VAX->PC are 8 times faster than transfers from PC->VAX
- (130 kb/sec vs. 18 kb/sec). Rates using NCSA Telnet are more even. In
- addition, we note that using the NCSA FTP client is much slower (41 kb/sec)
- than using the NCSA FTP server (100 kb /sec)
-
- Does anyone out there have a better method or can anyone recommend
- a pc/ethernet-card/software combination that will get our images from
- the pc to the VAX in anything like the time it takes to get the image from
- VAX to VAX?
