Compression is a client-requested SSH option, that is allowed or disallowed on the server. In openssh based systems, /etc/ssh/sshd_config has a compression option which defaults to Yes (meaning compression is allowed by client request). In cygwin, the -C option or -o Compression ssh command line options of the enable compression. It can also be specified in /etc/ssh_config, /etc/ssh/ssh_config, or .ssh/ssh_config.
Since you are asking about it, it is likely that you do not have it enabled, but it would be worth checking just incase. Compression is good for slow connections, but generally degrades performance, esp. interactive performance over fast connections (which yours would be considered). -- MrC _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
