"cp" or "scp"? If "scp", then you might increase performance a bit by selecting a different cipher, such as blowfish, using the "-c" option, and/or enabling compression with the "-C" option. But I'd guess that the real problem is the size of the SSH receive window on the destination host, and I think the only fix is to update the ssh software.
Here are a couple links with more information about the ssh receive window issue: High Performance SSH/SCP - HPN-SSH http://www.psc.edu/index.php/hpn-ssh SSH, SCP, and SFTP Speed Improvements http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26505_01/html/E27003/gmdlh.html -- Edward From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David McSpadden Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2015 9:49 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [NTSysADM] OT unix commands? When running a 'cp' from one lan to another over a 100MB circuit my bandwidth utilization is 3MB but when running a 'ftp' to the same destination I utilize over10MB of the same circuit? Why would an IBM AIX cp command be so different from an IBM AIX ftp command as far as same files to the same locations over the same networks?? Doesn't really make any sense to me??
