Incredibly slow FTP upload speeds on Intel Macs with OS 10.5

I've been using FTP programs like Fetch and Vicomsoft FTP for years and recently bought two new Intel iMacs to add to my office. I still have my older G5 iMacs as well. We have an extremely high speed business class broadband connection and on the older iMacs that are running 10.4.11, our FTP connection through Fetch and Vicomsoft with them is absolutely super-fast with upload speeds of close to 300 kb/sec.
However, on the new iMacs, which are Intel Macs and run OS 10.5, the FTP upload connection is insanely slow, with upload connections of less than 30 kb/sec (yes, 10 times slower). It starts out fast at first (like all FTP connections) but then very rapidly slows to a maddening crawl of 30 kb/sec or less.
Anyone have any idea what this might be attributed to? Or anyone out there have the same problem? We are having to transfer everything to our older iMacs in order to upload, which is another huge time waste.
Any help is appreciated.
BTW, on the new Intel Macs, we have tried using both Fetch 4.0.3 (which is the version we have on the older iMacs) as well as Fetch 5.3 and the same slowness problem exists for both.

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

Logic 7 Pro on INtel Macs with 10.5 and Protools 7.4.2

I'm trying to install all of this
Pro Tools works
Logic (CoreAudio) WWorks
I can't get showing the 'DAE' and 'DTDM' tab in the Audio Preferences of Logic.
Is there something I'm missing?
Is there any file to move in order to have ProTools hardware noticed by the MacPro?

Intel 2x3,2GHz Quad Core Xeon Mac OS X (10.5.4)
Logic Pro 7 is NOT, I repeat Not compatible with LEOPARD. And NOt with PT HD on LEOPARD.
You need to upgrade to Logic Pro 8. And read the manual first, to install Logic with DAE support correctly.

FTP Upload Speed Very Slow

Hi guys,
This question is specifically about "Transmit" for mac but I think it might be generic enough for any FTP client.
According to Speedtest.com, on a bad day I should still be getting .8 or.9 Mbps on upload speed. FTPing into my server with transmit is currently topping out at ~100KB/s ….
It's also making doing anything else online almost impossible.
What are the factors I should be looking for to see if I can speed this up? Is it software? the router? my host? Anyone got a good troubleshooting path for this?

Hi,
As you are using your own application on client system to send files, it may cause difference in uploading files via FTP when using buid-in FTP server or a third party FTP server.
First please test to disable Windows Firewall or any third party firewall on both client and server side to see if slowness issue still exists.
Meanwhile, FTP commend line does not support passive mode FTP connection. If your application works like FTP.exe, it could also be the cause. Have you tried to upload files via Internet Explorer? Have a try with enable passive mode FTP:
Check the box in IE settings - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - "Use Passive FTP"in "Browsing" section.
Also disable Folder View for browsing in IE for passive mode to function in Advanced - "Enable FTP Folder View". Uncheck it.
Also there is a known issue with a hotfix:
FTP client does not establish a passive-mode FTP connection to an IPv4 FTP server in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

Slow FTP upload to certain server

(OS X 10.3.5) Using Fetch, my upload speed to a certain server is 6,000 bytes - on average, while my upload speed to another server hovers around 130,000 bytes. Both of these servers are outside of our network, with different IP addresses. The download speeds for both are similar at 200,000 bytes.
Windows users on our network (Windows NT) do not see this disparity in speed. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Привет всем, не ожидал такого быстрого ответа!
Могу чуть-чуть дополнить свой вопрос.
Вопрос заключается в том, что у нас есть FTP сервер который проверяет входящие файлы на соответствие определенного формата (XDCAM HD 422 50 PAL 50i) и соответственно проверка занимает какое то время 15 - 30 сек или 1 мин. На данный момент наш FTP сервер не успевает ответить адобу что проверка прошла успешно или наоборот и прерывает соединение. Пробовал добавить число попыток в настройках Adobe Premiere Pro CC, но это всего лишь переподключение. И каждое переподключение создает запрос на проверку вновь загружаемого файла.
И еще на том же компьютере у нас установлен Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 и за 5 мес. с ним такого ни разу не было . И скорость на CS6 ограничен 25% использование сетевой карты(т.е. 25% утилизация)
А на Adobe Premiere Pro CC мы замечаем что скорость upload to ftp идет без ограничения 65-80% утилизация сетевой карты.
И по этому пытаемся перейти на новую версию
Вот мне еще интересно что изменилось в новой версии Adobe Premiere Pro CC в ftp-uploade?
- FTP Server находится в локальной сети.
- Проблема есть только в Adobe Premiere Pro CC
- ОС Windows 7 x64

Slow fios upload speeds in northern NJ

I have 50/50 internet but the upload speed is extremely slow. Download speeds are usually somewhere between 50-60 mbps any time during the day. Upload speeds are around 30 mbps during the mornings and in the evenings it gets as low as 5 mbps.
They replaced the box outside, inside, and also the modem...Still the same thing. The upload speed seems very consistent everyday being faster in the morning and slowing down in the evenings.
Is the service in my area oversold? The only time I got 50 mbps upload speeds was on new years day(morning).
Verizon shouldn't advertise that upload speeds is the same as download.

Well, then I'm not sure what you expect to get from posting here. In case you didn't notice, you're talking to peers here. There are a bunch of network savvy folks here, but we can't help you if you don't give us details. We only know what you tell us, nothing more. if you're convinced the problem is in Verizon's network, then there is nothing we other users can do for you.
I suggest you try some large file transfers as well. Speedtest sites are very useful tools, but sometimes real world testing is important too. Some quick tests could be uploading movies to FaceBook or YouTube. If you have other well connected servers you can use, try them too.
Remember that the Internet is ultimately a shared medium, regardless of what Verizon's marketing department says. If you're testing through links that are loaded, then speed will drop. Using other servers and test sites will help determine if some links are busier than others.
Enjoy.

Super-slow FTP download speed

I recently switched from Time Warner to Verizon FiOS and it's been a whole lot better in terms of service except for one thing: FTP speed. When I log into Filezilla and try to download something, my download speed plummets to 30 kb/s and slower. I've tried switching FTP clients and saw no change, and tried accessing my ftp via Firefox and Chrome; neither option changed my slow as molasses FTP speeds. There's no problem with my connection (I'm wired, not wireless) and my speeds are reading as higher than advertised.
Is there something I'm not checking for or is Verizon simply throttling my FTP DL speed?

I use FireZilla all the time and have no problems with transfer speeds.
Some FTP sites run slower than others, but I chalk that up to slower links between "here" and "there."
I've never seen any real evidence of throttling by Verizon on any service.
Good Luck.

Linking intel macs with firewire

I am trying to link two intel mac pros via firewire to set one as a target disk for a quick one time transfer of files. I have disconnected all current firewire connections from both target and host computers. I shut down the target and connected the firewire cable; the host is still running. I started the target and after the chime held the T key down. Nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Too slow down/uploading speed FTP + airport extreme b.s.

Hi guys,
I've just switched form WIN to MAC...I've bought the Apple Powerbook 17" and Airport Extreme Base Station...I didn't have any problems with setting up airport extreme for connection to the Internet + I've connected PC and MAC wirelessly to the Internet.
Here's my problem...I've found out that the download speed from FTP server is to low (under 1 MB/s when using airport extreme).....while when I connect my PC to the Internet using LAN cable, the speed is about 6MB/s ....
where's the problem?
Is there any possibility of raising the speed when using airpport extreme?
Any ideas?
Thank you

Geoffrey,
I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet - I am going to reset the base station and revert the firmware back to the second-to-latest version. I've heard there can be issues with the latest version.
I notice you're connecting wirelessly - that probably always will be slower but you can tweak your settings a bit - if you have 'enable interference robustness' on, you could try turning it off, there's also a speed setting there too.
My problem happens with it in wireless, yes, but weirder, working wired too - my adsl modem runs into the airport, then out to a router. Speed on a PC connected to that router seems ok, but all my macs are slow as anything, If I connect them directly to the ADSL modem, the speed improves - it seems to be an issue between the Extreme, and the macs - and, weirder still, some are on OSX.3.9 and some are on OS9.2.2

IMac, slower FTP uploads than XP machine on same network

I had previously been working on a Dell desktop, and a major part of my job is uploading 3-5GB files via FTP to another server. I used Filezilla for the most part.
I recently bought an iMac, and installed the same program, Filezilla, the OSX version, and proceeded to upload one of these files. I noticed that after a little bit, it was getting 35-43 kbps.
My XP computer is still plugged in to the same router, so I tried uploading the same file to the same FTP server, via the same program, and got 75-90 kbps uploading time. Obviously, that's twice as fast, and therefore an upload that would take 24 hours on my old machine, takes 2 days on my new machine. Same ISP, same router, etc. I did a speed test on both machines, and 768 kbps upload responses on both.
Is there anything I can do about this? I have roadrunner cable broadband in New York City, if that helps. I couldn't find DNS information for it, to plug into my ethernet settings, but I did change them from automatic to manual, according to some posts I saw regarding this specific problem, which others have experienced. I'm not all that savvy about router settings, which, as I said, worked much better with XP.
Any ideas? Thank you.

You might try another FTP program, such as Fetch, to see if the Mozilla program is slow on Mac OS X for some reason.

Q180: Slow download speeds even slower then upload speed?

Just looking for answers. I have recently brought a Q180, using it wifi upstairs. And I just upgraded to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem gateway (Moto SBG 6580) I have Charter as my IP I pay for data plus 30 Mbps download. My son's laptop, my HP laptop and my Mac book (used up stairs) all seems to have benefited from the upgraded modem. Showing 20-25 Mbps. Charter provides a webpage (speedtest.charter.com) to test your up/download speeds. The Q180 shows an average of 4 Mbps! And uploads of avg. 6 Mbps!? Q180 shows 811.N as selected and full signal strength of 54 Mbps?
Where could the chocking be coming from? How can I fine tune the Q? Any help would be really appreciated

that website for testing is crap i have tested mine and i get http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/1593897921.png 20mb down and 3.5mb up and i am on 50mb down and 5mb up
try something like speedtest.net and also do a pingtest.net
even speedtest shows my speed as 35mb and 4mb a little better but i am in the uk

Too slow FTP DW CS3 on a Mac?

If your FTP transmissions in Dreamweaver CS3 on MacOsX are
too slow, try the following:
Go to » Preferences » Invisible Elements » and
de-select every marked select-box on this page!
Changing these settings makes a huge difference in
Dreamweaver CS3 performance and FTP-speed.

There is no command line interface in Dreamweaver. It's a tool for editing web pages.
However, you can use Dreamweaver to set the permissions on web pages on your remote server like this:
In the Files panel, select Remote view from the drop-down menu at the top right.
Select the file(s)/folder(s) for which you want to change the permissions.
Right-click and select Set Permissions from the context menu.
Set the permissions in the dialog box that opens.
As the dialog box warns you, this command does not work on all servers. If your remote server won't allow you to change permissions through Dreamweaver, you need to log into your hosting company's control panel, and change the permissions there. If you don't know how to do it through the control panel, ask your hosting company for help, as the method depends on the control panel used.
