I am sure he meant to say each 1024 bytes of data., rather than 1024K.
For any large file, this puts out lots and lots of #s.
I wish it WOULD do it every megabyte, or at least every 100K bytes.
The current setting is good for using a 2400 bps modem, but
not well suited to 100mb lan transfers.

It would be neat if there was a way to configure it, like HASH 100000
or something like that.

My favorite little used command is the SITE command. I use SITE STREAM JOB
is FTP jobs that transfer a data file, then kick off the processing of the
data just transferred. When I do this from a PC, I have to say
LITERAL SITE STREAM myjobname     to get it to pass the command to the MPE
ftp server.


I was merrily transferring files, when one day a lan connection reverted to
half-duplex
rather than full. Transfer rates dropped from about 500,000 bytes a second
to 50K a
second. If your ftp transfer speeds speeds seem real slow, you might check
and see
if some router or switch decided your link was only half-duplex!!
