I'm also willing to guess that most users of libssh2 aren't doing interactive shell sessions but automating some kind of file transfer. I'm further willing to guess that more often than not those files are either in some kind of binary foramt or already compressed. I think that compression should default to off, for those reasons and because it means one less thing that can go wrong as somebody starts to integrating libssh2 into his app. >>> Dan _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
