I have a RPi running XBian (XBMC). It is connected to my home network through an ethernet cable. My laptop is connected via wifi. I have few HDDs connected to the Rpi via USB.
My goal is to quickly transfer files from my laptop (running Windows7) to one of the Rpi's USB HDDs.
At the moment I'm using WinSCP to connect to the RPi but the transfer rate is something in the lines of 300-400kb. Given the fact that the 2 devices are on the same network, I am sure I can get more out of it. What could I do?
iperf -t 60 -c <SERVER_IP_ADDRESS> -d
. That should give you the maximum speed of the network transfer, then we can see where to go from there.
