Transfer Speeds

[kinghuzi]

Is there anyway to reinstall Filezilla ftp ... SCP transfer rates are excruciatingly slow (PC to XBMC) ... they stay around 3 MB/s ... while my network easily does 12 MB/s

Any suggestions

Strange. It's probably more the fact that you're sending to a USB stick than anything else.

You can install apps with apt-get as usual. Drop to console (ctrl+alt+f1), login is xbmc/xbmc.

Hi guys, Sorry for bringing up this thread again. Just a question.. What is the fastest way to transfer files to the harddrive on ext3?
Would setting up a FTP server help or using the build-in one? I found using SFTP through a program running on vista data copy is very slow!

So what would the best way be to transfer data to my mediacenter using gigabit network?? Or is there any small settings like QoS i can check for or change to increase the transfer speeds??

My XBMC live is install on a 250GB Sata drive and linked to a gigabit network.

I am using filezilla via my M$ xp SP3 worksation and my network is at 1Gb Wired. I see transfer speeds up to 10Mb/s with Filezilla. I have never transferred anything other than a 800Mb .avi file to the local xbmc drive for testing all my files reside on my media server on the network, I hope for that server to be my MYTH backend soon as well.

I use filezilla out the box and change nothing. Other than setting up connections to different machines, I have never had a drop below 8MB/s with any file to any machine. It takes me about 15 minutes to transfer a bd .ts or hd .mkv recoded file to the server at 25-30Gb.

Ok.. Will give filezilla a go.. How do you connect to your mediacenter? FTP, SFTP/SSH?

Sn00ze,

I use sftp for filezilla. This is automatic. When you login to the media center from filezilla enter your ip, user, pass and port 22 then filezilla will auto connect in sftp mode. I use Putty for ssh command line editing.

rgds,
