copy a file over a slow link

[prinand]

I am trying to copy a file over a slow link. if I do a ping -w 10000 I get average resonse times of ~ 4000 or 5000 msec and sometimes timeouts.

we know the link is very busy and has thos slow responses, and we have to live with it right now.

but trying to copy a file (just a ~ 200 kbyte file) fails.

I tried xcopy and robocopy but that does not work.

any ideas if there is a copy command where you can set the timeout value to a very high value ???

(and trying to open a remote share also fails due to the slow response, so drag and drop is out of the question....)

FTP might work..

FTP is not installed on the W2K servers, so that is not an option... tried that already but no luck

and sometimes FTP even is not able to detect if FTP is running at the other side so I just get an error

> ftp: connect :Connection timed out

I think the line is overloaded, but also, it is a satelite link so both do not help much for the response times....

what I was looking for, is if there is a registry entry / or copy command which enables me to set that timeout value.
