what i am trying to do is transfer from XP@home to linux@home using scp
(winSCP).

if i do a file transfer or receive between linux@home and linux@work it works fine and the speed is very adequate.

i havent been able to see what happens if i do a transfer from the linux@home to the XP@home machine. i would have thought it's safe to presume that; if the transfer between the linux@home to the linux@work is working that the problem rests with the XP@home machine.

so to sum up:

if linux@home is the server-

a transfer from linux@home to linux@work = fast
a transfer to linux@home from XP@home = slow
a transfer to linux@home from linux@work = fast

Tonight i'll try pscp from XP@home to linux@home. If that works do you know what that would mean? what information do you want to see next if this is the case?

Have you tried other SFTP client? Can you try PuTTY SSH client and PSFTP?


I'll try tonight when i get home from work.

FYI both the switch and the two network cards in the respective machines are all running at 100 full duplex.

because i am stressed out, i forgot to mention that this is over my lan which is 100meg. i can easily ssh to my linux box with no lag and tcptraceroute is ok so i dont know whats going on.
