Client or server issue?

[florida]

Please advise what would cause slow upload times from Windows
workstation to Windows Server? I have several Intranet web pages on
different Intranet servers in my office. The client workstations use
an ASP Intranet web site to upload files from the workstation to the
server. They can sometimes upload as many as 10 files at once where
the files are up to 50 mb each.

It sometimes takes as much as 5 minutes for each 50 mb file from
client to any of the windows servers which is around 50 minutes
total. Do I need to increase the client bandwidth or processing or
what to expedite the upload? Or is it a server bandwidth issue?

My guess is that it's a server bandwidth issue. I would test whether file uploads via HTTP are significantly slower than file copies over the internal network. If so, you might want to check whether you have bandwidth or connection throttling set up in IIS Admin.

I am not a networking expert, but I'll throw this out there, anyway. If your network has traffic shaping (throttling) rules applied, it's possible that HTTP traffic is prioritized lower than other traffic. There... that's about all I can tell you!

Hope that helps!
