Spped of FreeWare FTP-Server under WinXP?



Hi,

I just tested the overall transfere speed of 2 FreeWare FTPds
(Cerberus FTP Server 2.4 BETA 3 and FileZilla Server 0.9.18 beta)
with ftp client Total Commander 6.54a) and 125 MB jpg (holliday) pics
on an 100 MBit LAN ... and the result was so different (*), that I
wonder, if there are more detailed ) speed) tests / experineces around
- but I did not found. So I ask here:


Did anybody ever tested transfere speed of the big 5, Freeware
FTP-Server undder Windows, named
- WarFTPd
- Cerberos FTPd
- GuildFTPd
- zFTPServer Suite
- FileZilla
to see, which Server ist (more or less) the fastest? In my case, the
fastest for many files ... not for one huge file (**).
Is there some commoun test (under Windows) one can Use?


The pure values of my (any test) is not so important, as the depend on
exact conditions ... but the comparea with same conditions of Server
would be. Also I know, that TotalCommander fore sure is not the
fastets FTP client. But I use it mainly, so ...


(*)PS: Here the resoults of my quick test:

125 MB jpeg (385 files in 53 subdirs) , OS: XP to XP

TotalCommander - Cerberos:
1:40 min -> 1.25 MB/sec, to delete them took 15 sec

TolatlCommander - FileZilla Server:
0:40 min -> 3.1 MB/sec, to delete them 10 sec

And no, it is not a cache thing ;-)

(**) If I use a 380 MB Zip File, speed of both was nearly the same:
48 Sec. for FileZilla and 50 Sec. for Cerberous (7.7x MB/sec)
.
