Double encryption. Though I haven't been able to benchmark (sftp on Solaris, which has the direct ssh connection to the remote host doesn't have bandwidth measurments on 'put'), the direct sftp seems faster than the indirect one. > Why must the file transfer/protocol use only one TCP connection, and why > must it not be FTP?
