    Hi,thanks.
    But should I increase or decrease?
    from Net::FTP:
    BlockSize - This is the block size that Net::FTP will use when doing transfers. (defaults to 10240)
    these two posts say 'alter to 4096'.

      What happened when you tried changing it to the value specified in the two threads I linked to?

        I changed to 4096, a litter faster. I will test other blocksize.

      Here, 10240 refers to bytes; hence, that's 1024K. "alter to 4096" means 4096K. I usually do a BlockSize of 8192K.

        Hey,
        'Here, 10240 refers to bytes; hence, that's 1024K. "alter to 4096" means 4096K. I usually do a BlockSize of 8192K.'
        10240bytes=1024K?
        BlockSize of 8192K : should I write BlockSize=>8192*1024,or BlockSize=>8192?
        thanks.
