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

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.

HT4061 Apple air has very low wifi download speed.

Thisis the third time I have tried to get a solution. My wife purchased and IPAD air to replace Ipad. The speed of the wifi is un acceptable. I have tried all the various fixes but none have improved performance. When I compare side by side to my lap top computer Apple speed is 1/5 what I should get, in fact, the Download speed is less than the upload speed. this test was conducted along side the router as well as at other locations with no difference in speed.
I am currently working on 2.5 mhz band dsl with netopia router.
Is there a real solution to this?
Stan

Hello piperstan,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Wi-Fi speed on your wife's iPad Air. I understand that you have tried some troubleshooting steps already. I found a few steps that I recommend for this issue.
If you have not yet tried these steps, I recommend following the steps below:
Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

Solution to low download/upload speed on Linksys E900

I lost almost 2 days and nights searching to solve this problem. I pay for a 50 Mbps connection using PPPoE. When i put the cable directly into the computer, i could reach speeds of 7.5 - 8.5 MBps download within the network. However, when plugged in the router, on LAN from router i would barely get 4.7 MBps and on wi-fi about 4. Not to moention that on www.speedtest.net i would have less then 30 Mbps upload speed, and when i put the cable directly into computer, i would get speeds aroung 70Mbps. The problem is not that this router cant handle PPPoE or such thing (explanation read on somewhere on this forum) or that the router cant handle those speeds or some another stupid (defending Linksys) explanation. The problem lies within the firmware of this router. I also tried the LiveSupport but to no avail, reflashing with the same version of flash, getting the same speeds. Lost one hour there. The solution is to upgrade to Tomato custom firmware from Shibby. Get the E900 version from here http://tomato.groov.pl/download/K26RT-N/build5x-115-EN/Linksys%20E-series/, and flash it from Administration>>Upgrade Firmware. Before and after the flash, do the so called 30-30-30 reset (just check for it on youtube). I configured the wireless on 40Mhz Channel Width and Short Preamble. And that's it. Now i get 7.5 - 8.5 MBps speeds from LAN router, and on wi fi i got speeds up to 7MB. Thats aproximately 40% gains in terms of speeds, so it definitely worths it. Plus you get some pretty options, especially on QoS. Linksys should spend more time offering a better support for firmware, rather then selling devices that the user cant take full advantage of their hardware properties. I hope this post helps everybody who got this problem

Up higher in that post is some speed test results regarding a wireless N comparison between the TP-Link and EA3500. At those speeds I don't think the internet connection is the bottle neck. How do those wireless speed compare to your router Tomato speeds?
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Download speeds very low =ftp tests

Hey ,, i ran into a issue here,
few servers are connected directly to 6509 to gig ports with a speeds of 1000 full on either side and they are having a slow download speeds of 11 Mbps
if i try to download an ftp from any of these servers ,,,download speeds are at 11Mbps.
in the same switch speed is good between two servers and rest of the servers operate at low sppeds.
If i try to involve another server connected to another switch,,, it is 28Mbps.
can any one help me out figure out the issue.
I am not able to figure out the issue
Thnx

ok. if L1 is clear, try tcpdump on server and client side. maybe there are some errors in tcp communication, or something like this.

Low ftp upload

I am trying to upload a 7 GB file to an ftp server for Parallels tech support to review. The upload was going much more slowly than the 518 Kb/s rate promised by ATT. After finding that ATT had not done the DSL upgrade we ordered and getting that complete, the test now show that we are getting the promised performance from ATT. I started the upload again and for about one minute got an upload rate of 300+ Kbs then is dropped back to 55-60. I tried 2x more with only the slow rate. The computer in question is an intel imac running 11.4.11 and it is connect directly to the netopia 3346N-002 ADSL modem. The support material for netopia seems to say something about the settings on the mac but I am not quite following. I also followed another thread on here and downloaded and installed rBrowser but have no idea what to do with it to test ftp connection. The ftp connection to Parallels is through terminal commands, which netopia mentions as being a problem with MTU and packets. Any help would be great, thank you.

The following is what the terminal looks like.
I was finally able to copy.
I turned off the Firewall.
I realized it took the password. I used 1462 from instructions downloaded from Netopia.
Any other thoughts, thank you for your patience and assistance.

Very Slow Download/Upload Speed

I have the Turbo service (5MBps - 7.1MBps). I check speedtest and 192.168.1.1 and they tell me : Speed (Down/Up): 5883 Kbits/sec by 863 Kbits/sec, which is fine with me. The problem is though, my download speeds are never above 600 Kbits/sec. I plugged my phone line directly into my Verizon box outside and get the same speed. What could be the problem?
Some Info :
I tested this on three computures (Two with Windows 7 and one with Vista). I am also using a Westell 6100 modem.

Who/what told you that?
For example, the router at 192.168.1.1

#3 Which Westell 6100 firmware are you on? For example, The white and blue OR the red and black.
#4 Is wireless in this modem combo (Westell 6100), on?
#5 If wireless in this modem combo is on, what level of wireless security is the router set to? For example, WEP OR WPA.
#6 The Default Gateway on all three computers is 192.168.1.1?
To check this on Windows XP..
a) Go to Start -> Run.
b) Type in cmd and press enter.
c) In the new window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.
This is, as noted at http://oit.ncsu.edu/resnet/ipconfig
For Windows Vista OR Windows 7, I believe like the way at http://oit.ncsu.edu/resnet/vista

Very low upload speed on Skype?

I had low download and upload speed on Skype for a while. I have fixed the download speed by resetting the settings. My upload speed is still very low. A speed test says I have 18 mbps download and 5 mbps upload. My download speed went from about 5 kbps to 150 kbps after the reset. My upload speed, however has stayed at about 5 kbps. Please help me.

Yes, that doesn't look good.

IPad (and iPhone 4) upload speed on wi-fi very slow - any thoughts?

Both my "i devices" - an iPad and iPhone 4 are very slow for upload speeds on wi-fi. For example, here are the results of using speedtest.net on my iMac 21.5", iPhone 4 and iPad just now:
iMac: download 38.39 Mbps, upload 19.22 Mbps (so the wi-fi network itself has good upload speeds)
iPhone 4: download 21.17 Mbps, upload 0.39 Mbps (why so slow?!)
iPad: download 23.66 Mbps, upload 0.71 Mbps (why so slow?!)
The wireless router is an Airport Extreme updated to the latest firmware.
I've seen screenshots of other people's iPad and iPhone speedtest.net tests where the upload speed over wi-fi doesn't suffer compare to download like mine does, by a factor of 54!
I've seen postings here and there by people with similar problems. Are there any solutions? Are my iPad and iPhone 4 bad? Are they incompatible with my Airport Extreme? Are there "settings" somewhere that can help with the problem?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, Carolyn.
Perhaps so. Maybe there are certain kinds of connections which are better suited for iPads and iPhones than others. But the download speed on neither device seem to have problems. It's just the upload speed.
I did try several channels yesterday - 6 through 13 - but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Why would trashing my Mac preference files and restarting my Mac help anything? My Mac isn't having any problems.
Oh, by the by, on my iPhone at least I already tried resetting Network preferences. I even did a Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and re-installed my iPhone 4 from scratch. While still in a "vanilla state" before restoring from my backup, I tried testmyiphone.com via Safari and got similar results - very poor upload.
The 3G connection also fluctuates between "so so" (1-2 Mbps down, 0.8 Mbps up) and really horrible (0.2 Mbps down and 0.05 Mbps up).
I did just try your suggested "reset networks" on my iPad. This time I got a download of 13.26 Mbps and upload of 2.2 Mbps on the first test. On the 2nd test I got about the same download, but an upload speed of just 0.63 Mbps.
So something's still wrong.

Problems With FTP Upload in Leopard 10.5.3-4

Hi, I experience a strange problem with ftp upload speed in 10.5.3-4. When I start upload a file to my trusted ftp server the upload speed starts to decrease from 300 kb/sec to 35 -40 kb/sec. It remains normal for 1-2 minutes (about 300 kb/sec) and then smoothly decreases to 35 -40 kb/sec. Pressing Stop and then Resume in Cyberduck makes speed normal for 1-2 minutes and then it starts to decrease again. It does not depend on ftp-client, it does not matter if I use either Cyberduck, Transmit or Fetch. It happens if I use either ethernet or airport connection. I have my old Powerbook with 10.4.11, it's connected to the same router with the same settings and the same time upload speed remains stable about 300 kb/sec.
But when I transfer files from my Macbook to my old Powerbook via ftp everything is fine. And when I transfer files to ftp server of my local ISP it's also fine.
Please, help me, I have to upload big 100 Mb files very often and it's significant difference for me 30 or 300 kb/sec
Boris

I'm afraid it's not just the Duck or FTP, Boris....It's many many Apps...and protocols... 10.5 appears to have ;broken',a number of file transfer protocols and Apps... (Wired and KDX are two that come to mind- precisely the same symptoms, AND some others) Apple's own 'built-in' FTP appears OK Mac-Mac, oddly enough.
There's obviously some kind of weird Copy-Paste problem too.
It's obviously 'fixable' or a workaround is available because several s/w mobs have released 'fixes for 10.5 file transfer Bug'
The rest of us will just have to wait while another unannounced,unacknowledged, gaping hole in the Mac OS is quietly fixed and our expensive s/w sits unusable...
Not really good enough, is it ?
Like: Not being able to automatically detect a part file transfer on FTP and Auto-resume from whence you left off: something we thought was pretty cool- back in about 1984.... and absolutely essential in 86 or so.
Boris:You will almost certainly find that it happens whatever the client-server server setup and applications or Medium... I've seen precisely what you describe happen with Airport, Cable, 10/100/1000' local' LAN...
- and watching your throughput drop from 300K to 300 BYTES/Sec is NO FUN.
I've spent a lot of time and money convincing potential 'Switchers' of the superiority of the Mac way over the last 20 years or so...
I'm getting pretty tired at defending the indefensible: 'SkoolBoy Misstakes' in a 24 year old 'superior Computer.- Not Good enough, Apple.

FTP download speed issue

Hi,
This problem only started occurring from yesterday, but I'm getting very poor FTP download speeds.
I use a dedicated server to store my work files then download at home but I'm finding it impossible now.
Speeds no higher than 150kb/s even though I have 80mb unlimited.
If I download any test files over HTTP I get full speed, its just an FTP issue (port 54630)
I've rebooted router / reconnected etc... With no luck
Can anyone help?
Much appreciated

Are you sure you are not getting confused with Mbps (Megabits per second) and MBs (Megabytes per second)?
Megabytes are Megabits divided by eight.
So a download speed of 17Mbs equates to an actual data transfer rate of 2.125MBs (Megabytes), which is what you are getting.
Download managers usually use megabytes and not megabits, so there is nothing wrong with your connection.

Very Low Upload Speed

I wonder if anyone can help, as the BT helpdesk have refused to acknowledge that I have a problem. My BT Infinity Download speed os very good, around 30 mbits/sec. My Upload speed is very very poor, if fluctuates between 0.3 and 0.5 mbits/sec. If I use wireshark to capture the packets used when the BT Wholesale test is running I can see that I have a high packet loss rate for outgoing packets. So something is wrong. I remotely control the PC in my office from my home PC and the performance of this is definitely a lot poorer than it was recently. Kids have also complained about Itunes and stuff. Loss of packets on the outgoing link will damage download performance as the TCP ACKs are not getting back to teh data sender. Any advice on howe I can get BT to accept I have some kind of fault and do something about it? Their recommendation was that I get Business Broadband!!!!

Very low Upload Speed. How can I increase this?

Hi there, new to the forums with my post.
I'm a frequent online gamer and have the Bt unlimited package as a result. However over the past month I've been experiencing high latency spikes or just high latency in general upward of 1000ms. Naturally this makes any form of gaming impossible. During this past month I've conducted many speed tests and only recently discovered that my upload speeds are ridiculously low, ranging from 0.02mbps to a maximum of 0.06mbps. I believe this is what is causing my lag issues.
My question is. What can I do to resolve this and raise my upload speed to an acceptable standard?

Very low upload speed or long response times

Hi,
Just connected my Airport Extreme. Unfortunately, the upload speed appears to be extremely slow. Checking my connection using Speedtest.net reveals that it takes very long for my workstation to connect to the Speedtest server via my APExt, before it starts uploading the testpackage. I've also tested the performance of my ADSL connection by directly plugging a workstation into the DSL modem and retesting the connection via Speedtest.net. This shows a normal response between the client and the server.
How do I further diagnose this problem? I didn't have this problem before a replaced my Sitecom wireless router with the Airport Extreme.
Thanks,
J

And all that took was a firmware upgrade to version 7.6
