Very slow intranet file transfer

[bilos1993]

Hello!

I am using a Debian machine for NAS on my home network. I was thinking of sending files over SFTP or FTP from my desktop. After setting it up I am getting 50-60 kib/s transfer speed from my windows machine. I tried transfering files from my android phone via wifi to the NAS and I am getting 2-3 MB/s transfer.

From further tests I realised that any traffic from my desktop to any device in my home is limited to around 60 kb/s. I am using dual-band wifi (TL-WDN4800) to connect my desktop to the rest of the network and the server is wired. The connection is set to use .11n. The desktop downloads files from the internet at normal speeds.

I have also noticed that the SFTP/FTP file transfers have 2 "speeds". Most of the time they initially reach 30 kb/s and after 2-3 seconds the speed doubles to 60 kb/s.

This is driving me nuts, please help!

How many bars does windows show? Many standards back should have better speed than that. If you're using AES, like SFTP or SSH, it might be really slow on the NAS if it doesn't have hardware AES.

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I have tried both SFTP and FTP from my windows computer to the NAS. The transfer rate is the same. When I do the same things from my Android phone or from my windows laptop the speed is OK (~2 MB/S).

Also I tried connecting the computer to the network via ethernet cable and transfering some files with my android phone through windows shares and the speed was still around 60 kb/s.
