The low speed of ssh and scp is not because of the encyption. The problem is the 64K limit for the window size in the protocoll. Further information and a patch can be found here: http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ -- Unsubscribe info:

How to improve scp speed?

2005-11-28 Thread lin q
Hi, I have 2 Windows XP machines installed with latest cygwin. In using scp to copy some large chunk of data, I find that the speed is never over 180KB/s. The 2 machines are on the same giga bit sub network. I wonder if I can do something to improve the speed? Thanks.

File transfers in scp are encrypted and encryption is CPU intensive. Either your local workstation or your server might not be able to encrypt file transfer stream at the same speed, your connection is able to transfer it. You may try to choose different encryption algorithm on Login dialog.
