NASLite Network Attached Storage

I have just bought NASLite+ (great program)
I have noticed something with file transfers from OSX (either 10.3.x or 10.4x)
I connect via nfs on the macs (nfs://192.168.0.15/export/Disk-1), pulling a file off the NAS is great, but sending is very slow.
A 300Mb file will send in about 15minutes, but downloading the same file is under 1minute via nfs.
If I login via a FTP client, I can upload the same file in around 1 minute and download it in about the same time.
I was going to try SMB on OSX but it want a user password which I don't know why its asking for it. Connecting it to a PC via SMB works fine, about as fast as FTP on OSX.
Just uploading via nfs is very very slow.
Is there something I haven't done, or something I could check?
Thanks

I have NASLite serving Macs & PC's. No problems with uploading here. I did a 6.7GB backup over 100GB ethernet in around 10 minutes. Never had a speed problem like yours. I do run Thursby's Dave on the Mac though, just a thought.

Do you connect via SMB or nfs?
I don't have any problem sending to every other server (W2K, NT4) or to other macs (using AFP and SMB).
As you can see I can get full speed via FTP just not nfs.
When I try to connect to the NASLite via SMB it asks for a username and password, I didn't think it needed anything, but can't connect. Any way around this so I could try SMB?
I know DAVE fixed some SMB login problems, but I don't want to buy it just for this.
I wonder if SE are thinking of putting AFP3.1 support? (I wish)

I have to confirm: SMB on Mac does not work with my NASLite+ either.

Well I got it to mount via SMB after some trial and error in 10.3.9 (haven't tried Tiger yet.) Those old apple links are dead now
I got it to work by typing in the "Connect to server" window "smb://NASLite" or "smb://192.168.0.15" (my NASLite address), this then allowed me to pick a disk and mount it no problems. I just couldn't use "smb://NASLite/export/Disk-1" or similar.
BUT now I have tested SMB, FTP, HTTP download and nfs on 10.3.9 (will do 10.4.X when I can)
I worked out the times over 3 copies then the average of them.
325Mb PSD file
SMB send 34 seconds, get 35sec.
FTP send 38 seconds, get 33 sec.
HTTP get 28 seconds.
nfs send 12minutes, get 42 seconds.

Why would nfs be so slow in sending?
Any ideas on what I could try?
I would like to usf nfs so I don't get a problem with file names as I do with SMB, and a few other SMB/OSX bugs.
Thx

Well I just tested OSX 10.4.3 with SMB and nfs
A 100Mb TIF file
nfs send 50seconds, get 11
SMB send 11seconds, get 11 seconds.

10.4.x is faster than 10.3.x, but still very slow.

Any ideas on how I could improve this at all?

Is there a roadmap on what is happening to NASLite?
I wouldn't mind it supporting AFP using http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/.
Using Netatalk's AFP 3.1 compliant file-server leads to significantly higher transmissions speeds compared with Macs accessing a server via SaMBa/NFS while providing clients with the best user experience (full support for Macintosh metadata, flawlessly supporting mixed environments of classic MacOS and MacOS X clients)
This would make it the ultimate cross platform NAS.
Thx for any help.

I posted the above of a couple of forums. I got a lot of people saying they seem the problem, and pointed me to
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php? ... 11312&quer
I will try it out next year, and post the out come, just incase anyone else comes across the problem.

PS. After a week of testing, I would have to say that this is a great product. Have got another version to use at home for streaming video and audio to my Mediagate.
Thx, keep up the good work.

The speed did change a little bit.
What version of NFS is used on NASLite+?
How can I tell what the max block size is?
Any help would be great, I am trying anything that I read.
Thx
