Fast network copy windows 7

More than downloads this month. Download FastCopy latest version This guide will teach you how to use Robocopy to quickly transfer huge amounts of files over the network on Windows These steps should also work on Windows The features included with Robocopy allow you to copy files very quickly but remember that you will need a wired connection for the best experience. The time to complete the transfer will depend on the network connection speed and drive performance. This is a two-step process.

You must first configure file sharing on the source device and then use Robocopy in the destination device to perform the transfer. Use the drop-down menu to select the user or group to share files or folders — For example, the Everyone group. For example, you can select Read default if you only want users to view and open files. Note the network path for the folder that other users will need to access the content over the network, and click the Done button.

After you complete the steps, make a note of the folder path and the IP address of your source computer. Once file sharing is configured on the source device, you can copy the files using Robocopy from the destination device.

Thank you! Your last suggestion worked in the midst of a Windows Easy Transfer. Network utilization was less than 1percent on two Windows 7 bit machines. After, it jumped past 60 percent and stayed there on both machines. Thank you so much for sharing this info. I have been battling this for along time.

Thank You Thank You. You just made my day! Thanks so much. I still do not know what caused the problem but it appeared immediately after installing a new Internet Security Software on all Workstations. Thank you again. This worked wonders. It at first said 19 hours, but after this fix it's down to 8 hours.

I still think that's too slow, but it dropped to half so thanks for that. I just sent 35 in 10 minutes from my laptop to my PC I did the settings on both, pc and laptop Wait, your comment is from 5 years ago.. Had the same problem. My network server is XP machine. My new used laptop is Win7. The "Jumbo Packet" setting did not solve the problem. It had been set on "Force " My speed went from about kB to 10Mbyte.

So wrong on so many levels.. Your not getting MB, changing the duplex to full negotiation would only help if you have a high speed than MB 1, Off the hook! Thanks a million! It must have taken you hours and hours and hours to find a solution. First i realy want to thank you for this. Man I have had this issue for a long time.

I thought that I have tried everything to pickup my LAN file transfer speed and nothing worked. Till now. Even large files transfer in seconds.

Thank you very much for sharing this info. I'm sorry, I've tried all the solutions, unfortunately, my problem continues.. I have 3 PCs. PC1 is our server PC with a practice management program. I have mapped the drivers of the 2 workstation PCs to the server PC for full access of the program read and write. I have turned off LSO and network speed has improved but only when one workstation is on at a time, when both workstations are on, network speed is slow.

Does anyone know what else could be the issue? Have I mapped the drivers wrong? Do I need to reset my modem?

Wow, changed settings in the middle of a copying files. Estimated time started at over a day and dropped to mater of about 20 minutes. Worked great make sure not to forget the reboot. Tried looking for this option on my windows 8 machine, and don't see the options listed under the advanced tab when I double click on my network adapter, could it be stashed somewhere else?

Called something else? Any ideas? Thank you sooooo much. Now I just need that fast speed out of my wifi. Is there a trick to that too? It worked for me although in my case the v2 options were already set to disabled and the non-v2 option "large send offload IPv4 " was enabled. I don't see Large Send Offload. HELP my speed is only a few kbps. I have something different - "Task Offload" in my Atheros L1 Gigabit card, Should this be done on both computers or just the sending one?

Assumed both. Thank you so very much. Its working as if my network is on Steroids. I have a NAS connected to my network and only the top folder would connect and the rest of the folders would take up to 15 seconds to give me the log-in window, now, it doesn't even take a second.

I appreciate you writing this up! It appears to be the answer to my problems as well. The only question is, I have workstation Is there any way for a Group Policy to be made for this so that I don't have to visit workstations?

The Offload setting fixed my Windows copy speed! Funny though, if you use a different copy manager like TeraCopy, speed was pretty good. This worked "like a charm Quote from "Santoxthanksyou" above "! Thank you I followed your steps exactly for both computers the third suggestion, the one that worked, the "LOS" option -- didn't even have to re-boot but will do it anyway before this put the transfer speed "on Steroids Quote from "Brian" above.

Thanks for posting this. I had to both disable LSO and enable jumbo frames to get the performance improvement, but importing a CD now only takes a couple of minutes. I get to step 5 and instead there is no list of options under the advanced tab Just a button "nvidia Ethernet configuration" which when I open it lists some options but not the LSO option I can't seem to fix my problem.

I tried all 3 options but the speed just around k. I tried to get into the network adapter setting and find the "Link Speed" is set to "mb Full Duplex", so I set to "1. Some time ago I experienced a slow connection when transferring large files. After I disabled large send offload on my networkcard killer e gigabit ethernet controller ndis 6.

Since yesterday I have a slow connection again. I didn't install something new and LSO is still disabled. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks in advance,. Thank you for the info. I really helped was struggling with slow lan for 4 days nothing helped but these changes made wonders..

Can't believe this. Saved the day for me. Thanks a lot for sharing the solution. I was transferring data over LAN between 2 laptops one of which is Windows 7 and another is Windows 8. I tried ll your suggestions to increase speed.

I just wanted to chime in and express my gratitude for this solution. Ah finally i found a solution! Starts of at or so. I tried these without much luck. Turned on autonegotiation and bingo. I think I might owe you something huge for this, but have nothing to offer. This brings about the end of a very long-term frustration. Many thanks for this post.

You deserve an award or something. Thank you very much. It was one older computer on our network that was slowing down other resources. After disabling LSO on that station it has helped all around. I did the opposite. I enabled Jumbo Packets, the largest size.

That fixed the problem. However, my case is special. I am downloading over a university campus LAN. If you have that service running, check this article on how to remove it.

Thank you, thank you and thank you. Any ideas how to fix slow speed transfer over VPN? I know to some degree the speed is reliant on the VPN provider. Waiting anywhere between 12hours and 18 hours is way to slow for a 20gig file. I am getting speeds of kb or less. Very slow. Check this article. It has quite a few suggestions on how to fix slow VPN speed. For years I struggled with slow speeds thinking that it supposed to be like that. Thank's heaps. It might help you steer into right direction.

For example, the answer has the following information about "Jumbo Frame" :. If users enable both of them, the driver automatically chooses Jumbo Packet. Now both directions work. What a stupid feature. Thanks so much! The large send offload was my problem too transferring files between Windows 8 computers, only in one direction wireless to wired.

Now I'm maxing out my wifi again. My file transfer speed over an ethernet cable was awfully slow. About 25kbps. I did 'netsh' change and it boosted up to 8mbps. Then I advanced and did the 'ipv4 and ipv6' changes on both of my laptops. But as soon as I opened another folder in the file explorer of my sending laptop, the speed dropped to around 46mbps, and the laptop started lagging and hanging.

When I let things get stable, everything was back to normal. After everything, I reverted the settings everywhere, to avoid falling prey to anything fishy, should a problem decide to approach me in the future. Thanks for this article, though, I wanted the transfer speed to be above mb but it became better after following the steps provided in this article. Well anyhow thank you VERY much!

This only started two weeks ago after having good speeds for years. Thank you so much. I would not have found this without help. I searched for increasing speed day by day, but i lost This is my email , someone can help me by sending me a reply to this e-mail, thanks! Amazing and thank you! And curses to the buffoons who invented it, who improperly implemented it, and who decided to enable it by default.

It doesn't work for me I wish to transfer GB files from Windows 7 to Windows I have tried the above-mentioned solutions.. Is there anyone have some good ideas? Thank you so much for this! I can't believe your first fix worked for me. Download ExtremeCopy Standard.

FF Copy is relatively simple copying tool where you select or drag and drop multiple selections of files and folders onto the window and they will be copied or moved to the destination you select from the button or drop down.

PerigeeCopy has several useful functions built in such as replacing Explorer for default file operations, using or ignoring the recycle bin when deleting files, leaving errors until the end of the copy process and 6 different overwrite options. The main copy dialog is quite informative but there are no extra features like pause, queue or skip for that extra bit of control.

Download PerigeeCopy. Fastcopy is amazing! It is reliable in all circumstances. It gets the theoretical maximum speed from all devices. Fastcopy has a portable version. Ray, Thanks for the wonderful article! I understand you review quite a bit of software, but I would love to see an updated review of this category running Windows But some others have newer versions.

I like the interface of Teracopy and had used that for some years now, but Fastcopy is my go-to now until I find a reason to change.

Its GUI is a little boring, but gets the job done nicely. I did some preliminary tests a while back with Windows 7 and 10 for something else, they were almost identical in copy speed. The biggest differences will likely be any major changes to the copy tools themselves.

Why is Killcopy the winner for me? I suggest you to look at the results in the comparisonlist in the article. The result of killcopy is always almost at the top and in any condition. It can move, copy, overwrite,… I can even suggest you to change some settings in Killcopy. Killcopy will increase the speed of the copy to the theoretical maximum speed of the hardware. We continiously do competitions between engineers during datamigrations. The Killcopy users allways win. New colleagues tries always to convince the older guys.

Killcopy can be used as commando based and not only with a gui. It is even available as portable edition. Good luck everyone. As far as I know. Killcopy works with any existing Windows which I can remember. I think that i have used Killcopy on about different systems in different situations and on all kind of operating systems. As far as i know most programs are struggling with enormous quantities of small files.

Like 10 1Kb files and many copy programms also struggles with many large files like multiple 10GB files. Killcopy has currently never failed for me. Have these been improved significantly? Last time I checked, Windows 10 copy performance was somewhere in between Windows 7 and Windows 8. Good post! It can also pause, skip and verify copied files using CRC32 in addition to dragging and dropping files onto the copy queue…. Do you have a list of free copy programs that can run as a service on a server Windows or ?

Does any one these tools has the ability to pause and resume copying after system restarts? We will update this sometime in the future, but to be honest, I doubt there will be much difference in how they perform against each other. Have you tried timing the transfers manually? The copy dialogs might not be completely accurate with their information. Absolutely yes. These files are partition images splitted. Has anyone done this before for this problem?

I use this tool. This tool is one of the best tools. This tool copies the your files very easily. Please tell me that youre heading to keep this up! Its so excellent and so important. I cant wait to read much more from you. I just feel like you know so much and know how to make people listen to what you have to say. This blog is just also cool to be missed. Great things, really. Supercopier was dropped by its author. Instead the author focused on UltraCopier instead of having 2 similar products.

For anyone using Teracopy or Fastcopy I recommend my program: Dualcopy. Dualcopy add favorites, recent menu and monitoring of file managers to the great speeds of Teracopy and Fastcopy. View here: dual-copy. Downloaded Dualcopy. Fastcopy also has a drag-drop menu system. FC also has file lists, etc, Will document it properly one day.

These are all dedicated copying tools, not just any program that can copy a file from one place to another. Hundreds of applications do that. Teracopy has free and paid versions. Export reports, edit file lists and commercial usage are the Pro features which you can very easily do without. Adding the dozens of files managers and other tools even just the free ones is far too big a task and probably a separate thing.

This article is and will continue to be for free dedicated copying tools only. Total Copier cannot even access a URL. Over a year ago I was looking for a tool to copy numerous large files files on a scheduled weekly basis for example: 3, files averaging 2.

Wish you made a functional test too, still today programs have issues with funny characters, links, deeply nested folders etc. Make a test folder tree which includes everything, all kinds of characters in various character sets, file symbolic links, directory symbolic links, hard links, directory junctions. Both locally and over the network. Now that would be one very useful test. I know from bitter experience. Injecting these into one compressed file ZIP or 7Z will by-pass most of these problems, usually.

Richcopy is not seeing my Network. Running Windows Any ideas? This is correct, FastCopy will not replace the shell. Once again, bad interface, excellent features. I always install Teracopy but it freezes so often and crashes out entirely extremely frequently. But the newer betas and the older stable.. I use it as a backup but could never depend on it primarily. Honestly for any important copy I just use commandline these days.

Hopefully that saves someone some headache.
