The tcpdump logs are the stdout of tcpdump. Unfortunately, that is
missing a lot of information. If possible, can you repeat the test and
do network traces according to

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Capture_Packets

to get the raw traces? Also, the ftp server and the Samba server seem
to have different clocks. The strace is a bit past 12pm, the Samba
server is right before 5pm. Not super-important, but if possible, can
you coordinate both clocks?

Thanks,

Volker
