[comp.sys.sun] Problem with ftp on Sun SparcStation

lynch@uunet.uu.net (Tim Lynch) (11/16/90)

Well, here's a new one for me.  We've recently set up some Sun and DEC
3100 machines in our library.  Everything seems to work fine except for
ftp going from one of our machines to a remote machine.  That is, if we
try to move a file from a local machine to a remote machine, the transfer
goes so slowly as to usually timeout.  Moving a file in the other
direction works fine. (By remote, I mean a machine off campus.)  We've set
up machines on the net before, so I believe we've got all the basics
correct:

   - We've checked our netmask & broadcast mask
   - We've checked to make sure the default route is correct
   - Trailers are off.

Any ideas?  I've not seen anything like this before and am really stumped.
I can provide more information, but am hoping this is a problem someone
might have experienced and would know the answer off the top of their
head.
