Errors transferring mat file by vpn.

Smb performance over vpn is an issue we see periodically at our clients. In short when i try copying large files 1 0 gb from my pc wireless ac to my nas ethernet the connection drops sometimes the sometimes is the irritating part. See my comment on the question above. I can ping the drive just fine copy from the network drive to my pc create files on the server and delete from the server.

I am having an issue copying any file from my pc to a mapped network drive over vpn. Here local means the computer from where you are running the file transfer command or program and the remote computer is the one at the other end of that connection. To access volumes and files hosted on a file server one of several available distributed file system protocols must be used. As a workaround i use teamviewer to send the file to them.

Typically the client profile is that they have multiple sites with site to site vpns and a centralized file server. Vpn is prone to network interruptions with large files because it saturates the internet bandwidth and when other vpn clients try to use the vpn tunnel the file transfer will be interrupted. Get a copy of a remote file to store onto the local machine. If multiple files need to be transferred appropriate file pattern wild cards and may be used with put and get.

I just can t move copy a file from my pc to the network drive. When transferring files especially larger files from site1 to site2 server1 the file transfer fails. Another scenario may be remote workers who connect using vpns to access file servers. As of 2018 the most common protocols are smb cifs default for windows and macos 10 9 or newer afp default for macos prior to 10 9 nfs default for linux and most unix operating system webdav based on http vendor neutral.

The fix for this is some kind of transfer resuming at both the server level and the client level.
