What speeds do you get transferring photos over WiFi FTP from mobile
devices to Windows 10 using the Windows 10 file explorer copy & paste?

I'm getting about 2 to 3 MBps, with nothing special running on either the
mobile device or on the Windows 10 computer or on the local home network.

All I do is open up the mobile device from the normal Windows file explorer
and then select the photos and press control+c to copy from the mobile
device and control+v to paste to the Windows file system over the local
802.11n LAN.

I'm just curious if you get the same or similar speeds when transferring
files over the local LAN from mobile devices using the FTP protocol from
the mobile device over to Windows 10 using "copy & paste" in the normal
Windows 10 file explorer window.

ftp is insecure and not the best choice for transferring between a
phone and a desktop device.

in any event, i typically get 400mbit/s using wifi with a variety of
devices. speeds are comparable to gigabit ethernet in real world use
(not theoretical). the hard drives are usually the bottleneck.

then something is very misconfigured.

run a bandwidth analyzer.

802.11n is old. upgrade to 802.11ac. unfortunately, not all ac routers
are created equal. some are actually only slightly faster than n.

That's 400 times faster than what I'm getting.
Do you have a screenshot of those speeds?
Does anyone else get those speeds?

You can test with just one file.
Here is a screenshot of an 80MB video file at 1.3Mbps steady speed.

That's how I found the task manager in the first place.

Any suggestions for a better Windows 10 bandwidth analyzers?

at least.

no.

millions of people do.

try http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu, which is designed to analyze
internet connections, but it can also find issues with local networks.

the only drawback is that it requires java.
