Reading the upstream bug ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523015 ) suggests that the slowness is because when nautilus writes a file via gvfs, it writes a buffer, then waits for gvfs to confirm the write, then sends more data, waits for a reply, etc.
It seems like it is a bit of a design flaw, but it might be hard to fix (see comment 2) since both nautilus and the sftp backend are using the API as designed. It doesn't look like anyone is working on it. We try to mitigate this by not using nautilus for copies where possible. -- gvfs performs slowly on bulk sftp transfers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for GLib. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
