Better ways to file share across lan?

[willhub]

Windows file sharing is so slow of you're copying applications across I think due to small files, anyway to speed this up?

Any server / client options that may speed file transfers ? I've tried file zilla but that doesn't work at all.

Cheers.

If I know the folder contains lots of small files I zip it up.

Do you need to keep lots of files in sync across several computers? Have you looked in to Drive File Stream?

As above with the nature of small files you're never going to have much success copying at a sustained decent speed. If you're not needing immediate or frequent access then zip them up.
