issue transferring files from server to client

Post by snarfsmojo » Wed Jun 28, 2017 3:00 pm

I am having an issue with transferring files from my softether server to a softether client.
I am using softether protocol over port 5555.

The client connects to the vpn server just fine. I can browse file shares on the server from the client no problem. I can browse file shares on the client from the server no problem. I can send a very small text file from the server to the client (using windows SMB/shares) without issue. If I try to send a larger file (several MB) the transfer just hangs for a few minutes, maybe progressing a couple of percent, and then I get an error message stating that the transfer failed.

Transferring files from the client to the server over SMB/shares works perfectly and FAST.

I initially thought my symptoms lined up very well with this post

http://forum.softether.org/viewtopic.ph ... 10&start=0

but then I tested setting up an FTP server on the VPN client side, and FTPing a file from the VPN server to the VPN client, and that actually worked, althought it was VERY slow. 20 minutes to transfer a 6mb file.

[code]
Here is my server config
# Software Configuration File
# ---------------------------
#
# You may edit this file when the VPN Server / Client / Bridge program is not running.
#
# In prior to edit this file manually by your text editor,
# shutdown the VPN Server / Client / Bridge background service.
# Otherwise, all changes will be lost.

I could use FTP, but I would much prefer to use SMB. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Could you try to decrease the MTU value of virtual NIC?
