this is slick…… today i wanted to test how long would it take to transfer a data set between two different tools and protocols. the two protocol that i was testing were SAMBA and SFTP under a windows machine. i wanted to try to transfer an empty ISO 1,073,741,824 bytes = 1GB.
if you would like to create this fake file here would be the code that you would have to use
- open command prompt (cmd)
- and type this command
fsutil file createnew test.iso 1073741824
that will allow you to create a fake iso file with 1GB of space. if you are interested on the results take a look at the table below.
