The only FTP performance parameter on VMS is the system-wide logical name:

"TCPIP$FTP_WNDSIZ" = "4096"

The doc says 4096 is good. I have no idea what the measure is (probably
4k of data ?). Not sure if it can be increased much beyond that. This
affects VMS on the receiving end.

I know that on the dsl line, the VMS box can't get anywhere near the
maximum throughput (which the Mac next to it can).
