Extremely slow transfer speed ubuntu -> Windows
- by Hailwood
I have two laptops,
One is running Ubuntu 12.04 (EXT4) the other is running Windows 7 (NTFS).
I am copying over 40gb of data (one file) from the Ubuntu laptop to the Windows Laptop.
(Browse the shared folder on Ubuntu using Windows copy/paste)
But I am getting transfer speeds topping out at ~700kb/s Surely this is not right.
I am transferring via wifi on both laptops.
My download speeds can reach 7-8mb/s on both laptops, so I know it is not the wifi cards or the router topping out.
