Windows 7 Slow samba and SFTP

[flake]

Hi all,

My PC runs Windows 7 64 bit and I have an annoying issue with Netbeans (I have tried versions 6.5, 6.71 and 6.8). The program itself runs without any issue but when I setup a project using either SAMBA drive or SFTP to access remote drive, the connection is extremely slow to the point that it is not workable. I am not sure if the problem is on Netbeans itself, Windows 7 network or Java. If anyone can share their thoughts about this.

OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Application: Netbeans 6.8
Java: JRE 6 64 bit
Antivirus: Avast
Firewall: Comodo

Note: I have tried to disable the firewall and antivirus but it didn't help at all.

Thank you for your help.

It sounds like you're encountering a networking issue specifically when using Netbeans to access remote drives through SAMBA or SFTP on your Windows 7 64-bit system. This problem with slow connection speeds could be related to various factors such as network configuration, software settings, or even compatibility issues. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the slow connection issue: 1. Network Configuration: - Check the network configuration on your Windows 7 machine, ensuring that there are no conflicting settings that could be causing the slow connection. - Verify that your network drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause network performance issues. 2. Firewall and Antivirus: - Even though you mentioned that you tried disabling the firewall and antivirus software, ensure that they are completely disabled or try temporarily uninstalling them to rule out any interference. 3. Java Configuration: - Check the Java configuration in Netbeans. Sometimes adjusting Java settings like increasing the memory allocated to Netbeans can improve performance. 4. Netbeans Settings: - Verify the settings in Netbeans related to remote drive access. Ensure the configurations for SAMBA and SFTP are set up correctly. 5. Version Compatibility: - Ensure that the versions of Netbeans, Java, and your operating system are compatible with each other. Incompatibility can sometimes lead to performance issues. 6. Alternative Tools: - If the issue persists, consider trying alternative IDEs or tools for accessing remote drives to see if the problem is specific to Netbeans. Since you have already tried disabling the firewall and antivirus software without success, it might be beneficial to focus on network configuration, Java settings, and ensuring version compatibility between Netbeans, Java, and Windows 7. If the issue persists after trying these steps, you may need to further investigate the network configurations, consult Netbeans forums or support, or consider reaching out to Java support for assistance with troubleshooting the slow connection issue. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any specific details about the configurations that you would like to delve into.
