Slow file transfer from pc to mac

I've got two windows xp home pcs and two macs (a mac mini and an ibook). The windows PCs are connected to the wired network and both macs are wireless.
When I try to initiate a file transfer on either pc to either mac, the file transfer is really slow (slower than I think it should be). It's very annoying.
Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how to fix it? Thanks.

I've got some more information: when Windows NT initiates a file transfer to the mac using windows file sharing, the transfer speed is fast. It's XP that has the problem. Is this a windows XP problem or a Mac OS X problem? Last time I checked, the macs were both able to communicate with each other just fine.
Ok, here's the transfer speeds approx: a 100mb file is normally quickly transferred in about a minute. When the windows xp machine tries to send to the mac, the transfer will take many times longer to complete.
Can anyone help with this problem? Anyone at all? Please? I'm annoyed about this issue.
So, what's the fix? Please. Thanks.

Extremely slow file transfer from wifi server to MacBook Pro

I am experiencing extremely slow file download speeds from my wifi server to my MacBook Pro. I have just carried out a test - transferring a 16.5Mb folder took 8 mins, 24 secs. Transferring the same folder to my iMac G5 takes less than 3 seconds. Also, copying the same folder from my MacBook Pro to my wifi server only takes 22 seconds. Any suggestions PLEASE!!!!!

Try getting it on the Mac using something other than iPhoto.
In Windows, it would simply be a matter of opening Explorer and copying the file(s). I'm fairly certain that Mac has a similar feature, but I'm not familiar with Macs.
Not really an iPhone issue... more of an issue with the application being used to import the file.

File transfer from PC to MAC

I am planning on switching to a MAC from windows. I was going to use an external hard drive to move my files from my pc but noted that the external must be formatted for MAC use. How can accomplish file transfer without difficulty?

Transferring via a Windows formatted hard drive is a good method. You might also take a look at the Windows Migration Assistant.

Frequent File Transfer from PC to Mac

I have a recurring dilemma and am soliciting your thoughts and ideas. At work, I have a PC desktop computer connected to the enterprise network. In order to avoid printing 50+ pages of documents each day, I purchased a MacBook Air to bring to meetings and on business trips. Throughout the day, I receive documents (usually via work email to my PC) and would like to have them with me on the MacBook Air in meetings. The documents are typically PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project files. There are some unique limitations which make this very difficult:
1) I cannot use USB devices on my work PC
2) I cannot connect flash storage devices to my work PC
3) My MacBook Air cannot connect to the work network, and there is no WiFi in the building
4) If I have to, I can purchase a USB superdrive for the MacBook Air to read/write DVDs, but I would like to avoid the extra purchase
5) Due to network restrictions at work, I cannot access online file storage solutions such as DropBox, Amazon Cloud, iCloud, Sugarsync, Box, etc.
6) The desktop PC does not have bluetooth
7) The work network firewalls strip attachments from all emails leaving the enterprise, which I cannot access from my MacBook Air even if it were connected to the internet, so emailing documents is not an option
8) As the files are typically rather small (less than 10 MB) and frequent, I do not want to burn a CD-R each time. Read/Write is a must.
I'm stumped! /:
Thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks!

You will probably have to install Windows 7 on your Mac, via BootCamp so that you can access the intranet using a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter.

Slow file transfer from USB 3 hard drive connected to EA6300

Hi,
I have a 1T external hard drive USB 3 connected to my EA6300 and I have a transfer rate of 3MB/s on my macbook air (AC wifi).
If I connect the HD to my imac and create a network share I go up to 25MB/s (from macbook air). So it's not a wifi issue, I suspect more an issue at the USB / resource management level.
Did someone experience the same issue?
Thanks for you help

Hi,
What is the brand and model of your external hard drive? It might be a compatibility issue.
I have a 1TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex (portable) and it doesn’t have a problem. I made sure that the firmware of my router is updated and did a reset after the upgrade and configured it manually. Also, I removed the hard drive before I did the router update.
I used another hard drive and both of them have no issues with transfer rates.
I do believe that your transfer rate concern is directly related to the usb hard drive compatibility of EA6300.
You might need to check this website so you can see if your hard drive is compatible with your router.

You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. To import pics/videos in your camera roll, read here:

Slow file transfer - ethernet + firewire issue?

Here's the setup -
Win98PC > ethernet (direct cable connection) > iMac G5 > Lacie d2 FW drive
Connection (100BaseT) works, logins work fine, browsing folders & files is fine. But when I transfer files from the WinPC to the Lacie drive through the iMac G5 it is unbelievably slow. Same thing if I use one of my other Macs in place of the WinPC, so it looks like a network or iMacG5 issue, not a WinPC issue.
On the other hand, if I use Airport to connect a WinPC, eMac or MacBook to the iMacG5, the file transfers are blindingly fast.
Is this perhaps because the FW & ethernet controllers in the iMac G5 are the same PHY chip? Is this some kind of contention for bandwidth through the PHY chip? (The Airport card in the iMacG5 is on a separate bus, not connected to the Ethernet/FW PHY chip, which makes me suspect something is up with the ethernet/FW controller.)
Anyone else encounter a problem like this with slow file transfer through your iMacG5 to an external FW drive?

Martin, that's really interesting. I've noticed slow network transfers in the past but always racked it up to overhead and parity errors inherent in the OS's. Never thought it might be the PHY chip, though it certainly could be. Apple has a broadband tuner which might help you by increasing packet size (but you probably knew that as a Level3). My stopgap is to do the file transfers with firewire, but your laptop may not have that option.
You could maybe copy to the mac over the network, then copy a second time to the LaCie. Not elegant or clean, but will save you time. Kinda like taking the backroads to avoid rush hour traffic - it's farther to go but you get there faster.
I'll look into the controller question. Let us know how you're doing,
Ed

I am trying to do a migration transfer from an older Mac Pro, running Leopard, to a newer Mac Pro, running Lion. There is a step that asks for a "passcode" to proceed. I have no idea what that passcode is. It seems to want a numeric code.

Getting error in file transfer from one system to another system

Hi All
One of my client (User) wants to transfer his file from SAP R/3 System SAP XI system. He is using a customize t-code ZFIR0325 (Trial balance report transfer to Hyperian System). When user execute the program he is getting error "File Transfer Failed due to Network chk with Admin"
I checked with Network team but they said it is okay from their side. We also check for authorization but there is no issue regarding authorization.
Name of File Path of Aplication Server, XI destinaion and XI directory entered by user is correct.
We also put authorization trace in XI System to RFC User (In file transfer from one system to another system this RFC User is geeing Used) but no authorization issue was found.
Please help me to resolve this problem. I any detail require I will provide the same.

Firstly, no one in the community can answer on how a custom transcation code and a program associated with it behaves.
If there are no authorization issues in the system, you have to look at the exact error message. Look if your XI system is allowed to receive files from the SAP system.
Unfortunately, you should do some more home work before putting your question here. If everything is fine and configured correctly, then the issue might be with the program.

File transfer from one system to another system

How can I use ODI to do file transfer from one system to another system ?
Do I need to create Models or I have to simply use Jython procedure/script to do the same ? Kindly help. I have done DB to DB using Knowledge Modules. But I am not able to understand this piece.
Kindly help.

If you are asking about file transfer use ODI FTP tool to do it. If you are asking about file transformation..
You can not do file transformation directly in ODI like we do in any other ETL tool like data stage or Ab Initio.. File transformation in ODI can be done using staging database in an interface(i.e ELT way).
Create source and target data stores for the file to be transformed. Create an interface using File to SQL LKM to load the file into staging database and then use SQL to File Integration knowledge module.
Thanks,

Original File transfer from G4 to new G5

About to buy G5 20" this week -
Apple Store says they can do file transfer from my imac G4 to new G5 for me at time of purchase, but cannot transfer any 3rd party apps (Photoshop, Ill, DreamW, Acrobat, Word, etc.). However in users manual it looks like if I do it originally myself with SetUp assistant, I can include these apps -- but perhaps not later using Migration Assistant after Apple Store has used the SetUp assistant. I'd like to avoid having to re-install all my apps if possible.
Also, If I do it SetUp Assistant myself, is it best to use Firewire cable vs. Ethernet?
Any intelligence/advice would be appreciated.
thanks

I would just drag app files over via Firewire (which is superior over ethernet).
Here is how it is done:

Using migration assistant to transfer from windows to mac. Almost there but code is appearing on mac but not on the pc. have tried a number of times. any ideas please?

The sharename would refer to the shared folder, directory, or drive on the server side. Perhaps the following will be more helpful:
