Using robocopy to copy files across and using a Gig network card. Our files
are huge , maybe around 100GB each and want to know if there are any ways to
speed up the process.. Using Windows 2003

If there is any latency, use ftp and not SMB. With two machines 4000km apart
I can saturate a 155Mbit WAN link using ftp between two Linux boxes. The
best I can get with Robocopy between two Windows machines in the same
locations is about 20-25% utilisation, and that's after extensive tuning of
the TCP/IP parameters. With the default settings out of the box we got about
9% utilisation.

If you're transferring a lot of files, try QFX instead of FTP. Much lower
overhead, but you have to know the names of the files. QFX uses security
through obscurity. You can't get a directory listing, but there's nothing
faster - it'll saturate the stack.
