Slow FTP Over Direct Windows Connection
I am connecting two Windows PCs (XP and Vista, if that matters) via direct connection (the 169.254.. IP addresses). The XP box is serving FTP via FileZilla Server, and the Vista box is downloading, using either Windows Explorer or FileZilla Client. This works, however I'm seeing a consistent speed of 1.2MB/s, despite the fact that both the XP and Vista boxes have Gigabit connections. I'm using a CAT5 cable admittedly, but worst case I feel like I should be seeing ~100Mb/s transfer speeds at least.
