I would like to clarify that that is not the case, however it is of course correct that SFTP adds another layer of protocol on top of the channels used by SCP. (This because SCP is just a system application, while SFTP is integrated a little tighter with SSH itself.)
For me personally, SFTP performance is (much) more significant than SCP. Especially because OpenSSH since 5.1 can do chroot SFTP service very easily out of the box, I expect it to be(come) a very popular configuration in restricted environments. I really don't like to open multiple connections when the SSH transport already offers multiple channels. I completely agree that libssh2 SFTP support should eventually make use of multiple channels, similar to what OpenSSH does. //Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
