I just wanted to make this clear: I'm fully agreeing that better SFTP performance is wanted, but since SCP is a much simpler protocol and is suspected to also suffer from performance problems it seems suitable to me to start with the more basic stuff and get that up to speed first, before diving into SFTP. Without a well-performing SCP, we won't have a well-performing SFTP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
