I know. This is exactly why my initial report said what it did about scp. This
is also why I mentioned the CPU load and specifications of both client and
server used. scp is very CPU bound because of the compression. I had to say how
good/bad it did, though, because some people may want to know how it fares, at
least on hardware like mine. :)
About the FTP throughput: that was a poor average, I admit. I will redo the
tests and use FTP for multiple files and get a more appropriate average. IPTraf
results showed around 10000KBps but this isn't a good average because these are
"spot results" of sorts.
