@mosermw I think as a community we should stay away from jumping to quick
conclusions without giving this PR a thorough and adequate review as we do with
others.
SFTP and SCP are two different protocols and while they both utilize the
same SSH encryption during file transfer, there are quite a few differences
which I am sure you can read up on, with performance being one of them (SCP
being faster) etc.
As for JSch as a library, it is neither SFTP nor SCP. It is simple Java
implementation of SSH2, allowing anyone to build components that need to
interact over SSH. So _"processors here are still using SFTP under the covers"_
is not really accurate? What I think is more accurate is that both processors
utilize the same library (JSch) to accomplish the set goal.
Now, I am not saying there are no issues with @eorgad's code,
configuration, documentation etc. I have not personally had a chance to look
through it yet, and I am sure there are things that may be incorrect or things
that could be improved. So in the spirit of community and collaboration let's
concentrate on those. There will be plenty of time in the end to cast up/down
votes.
