I am trying to replace my always-on Windows file server with a Linux-based machine. I am configuring Samba for the first time; I have a public share that's wide open and using Windows Explorer I can copy files over at the speed I would expect (50MB in a few seconds). However, doing a sync with VV Pro the speed is far slower; about four minutes to copy the same data.

Any suggestions on what I should change to cure this?

Hello

For these 50 MB, how many files and what is the average size?

Try these options:
- copy directly to destination file in the profile settings -> advanced settings
- try increasing the copy buffer size in the profile settings -> bandwidth

thanks

It was a set of mp3 files, so 10 files about 5MB each.

I will try as you suggest and post back results. Thanks for the quick reply!

I don't know how on Earth I did this, but I told you I have VV Pro when my version is VV Plus. I take it the options you mention don't exist in that version, correct?

Okay, I tested VV Pro, and it works fine with and without the direct copy options. Any idea why Plus would differ from Pro in this regard?

Not sure exactly why PLUS is slow in your case, but VV PRO implements a completely different copy functionality, re-written from scratch...
