Hi rbatte1

Thanks for your feedback.
I have been working with our system integration team to determine the type of storage and finally have decided on using external NAS Gold storage for the FTPS server.
The advantage of external NAS storage is it can be mounted onto both the FTPS server and the application server via NFS.

Then what I intend to do is test transfers from application server to the FTPS servre NAS storage using 2 methods:

(1) Copy large files from the application server to the FTPS NAS storage via the NFS mount point on the local application server itself and benchmark the latencies.

(2) FTP the same large files from the application server to the FTPS NAS storage via the NAS mount point on the FTPS server using rsync/lftp. Latencies are once again recorded and compared with the benchmarked latencies from previous method.

This way I will get a clear picture of which is a faster option, whether to ftp to remote NAS storage or to copy to remote NAS storage via NFS mount.
I will update you of my observations once I have the servers, storage provisioned and am able to perform my tests.

thanks

NAME

       gftp - file transfer client for *NIX based machines.

SYNOPSIS

       gftp [options] [[proto://][ user : [pass] @] server [: port ][/ directory ]]

DESCRIPTION

       gFTP  is  a file transfer client for *NIX based machines. It currently has a text interface and a GTK+ 1.2/2.x graphical interface. It cur-
       rently supports the FTP, FTPS (control connection only), HTTP, HTTPS, SSH and FSP protocols.

OPTIONS

       You may enter a url on the command line that gFTP will automatically connect to when it starts up.

       --help, -h
	      Display program usage.

       --info Display some information about how gFTP was built. Please send the output of this command when submitting a bug report.

       --version, -v
	      Display the current version of gFTP.

       proto  This specifies the protocol that should be used. It can currently be one of the following options: ftp, ftps, http, https, ssh, fsp,
	      local and bookmark. If omitted, the protocol specified by the default_protocol option will be used.

       user   The username that will be used to log into the remote server. If omitted, your current username will be used for most protocols. For
	      the FTP protocol, the anonymous username will be used.

       pass   The password that will be used to log into the remote server. If omitted, you will be prompted for the password. If  you	are  using
	      the FTP protocol, and the username is anonymous, then your email address will be used as the password.

       server The remote server to connect to.

       port   The  remote port on the server to connect to. If omitted, the default port for the protocol will be used. The port will be looked up
	      in the services(5) file.

       directory
	      The directory to change to once you are connected to the remote server.

FILES

       ~/.gftp/gftprc
	      Per user configuration file. Most of these options can be edited inside gFTP. This file is also commented very well.   ~/.gftp/book-
	      marks
		     Per user bookmarks file.
