Does anyone have suggestions on how to throttle a file copy command?
I've recently been tossing large multigigabyte files around our small LAN. I get the odd complaint from people who get various errors or slowdowns when I do that. Typically the files are streaming off the Server, so I'm probably saturating the Server's network connection.
Also, I've had occasions in the past where I've been moving big files around on my local workstation. The huge disk I/O can sometimes prevent me from doing other work in the foreground. A speed-limited copy would be useful in these cases too.
I've considered FTP, but it's rather inconvenient.
