But how is a comparison between libssh2's SFTP and scp fair? SFTP is one protocol layer more, and a round-trip "intensive" one too, so there's hardly a surprise to me that SFTP in general is slower than SCP. I'm more curious on how big speed difference there might be between for example openssh's sftp tool and libssh2's sftp implementation. Changing protocol or changing to another lib/tool is not an option for me. -- / daniel.haxx.se ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel mailing list libssh2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libssh2-devel
