Re: Slow copying files in a network on Windows

If you are worried about speed involved in copying large files, use robocopy
from command line. It has advanced capabilities like copying from last
failed point, directory mirroring etc to name a few.

Hi,

Sometimes disabling the "Remote Differential Compression" and "Receive
Window Auto-Tuning " helps.
