Bug ID: 3931
Summary: wildcard decimates directory listing performance (sftp
ls)
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 9.9p1
Hardware: amd64
OS: Windows 11
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: sftp
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
For directories containing many (150+) files:
sftp> ls dir
is an order of magnitude faster than
sftp> ls dir/*
This amount of difference seems inexplicable (both produce identical
output).
Similarly, "ls -l dir/*" takes about 10x longer than "ls -l dir". This
is particularly unfortunate because the former includes the prefix
("dir/") in its output but the latter omits it. For batch use it would
be convenient to produce output lines that include both the file size
(bytes) and the fully qualified filename (including directory prefix)
without severely impinging on performance.
For directories with ~5000 files, using a wildcard makes sftp appear to
hang (nonresponsive to CTRL-C).
