asked on

best way to tramsmit an ISO file

Hello,
some of our remote offices need to transfer ISO files,
So far we winrar each ISO file into around 20 parts 100 mb each
then we transfer each part using ftp

but it takes 14 hours for one ISO under average circumstances... not all offices have the speed we do.
And its better to have each one doing their own stuff... rather than expecting us to do it.

Is there any better technique/ software to transfer these twnety something parts of an ISO in less than 14 hours?
even half the time would help a lot

Regards!

You could zip it (if it compresses much) and then setup DFS - far less work involved once setup.... but at the end of the day, you will find that nothing will speed up transfers other than increasing the speed of the line.
Plus, if you're updating the ISO and the changes aren't significant each time, it MIGHT go faster since DFS-R is block-level and the ISO itself may be largely the same each time.
Need a bigger pipe at your remote offices.

WinSCP is a great tool to transfer files like that. And it can connect to your VMware datastores.
