My DSL is assymetric. Uploads slow down everything else (most notably, my SSH sessions).
This is particularly noticable now that I have a WiFi router that does more than just 802.11b. (In other words, it's a lot easier for my laptop to saturate my DSL bandwitdh now ;) ) I find that things work nice if I limit the upload speed using "scp -l 240" (30KB/s, since it seems to max out at about 50-60KB/s). However, I'd like to do this only when uploading, not downloading. So setting up an alias (e.g., "alias scp scp -l" in my ~/.bashrc) isn't the best solution. Is there a config somewhere that I can use to limit 'local -> remote' transfers (uploads), while not limiting 'remote -> local' transfers (downloads)? I don't see _anything_ related to bandwidth limiting in "man ssh_config" (which kinda makes sense, since the "-l" option is specific to scp). Is there some scp config file that I'm not discovering? :) -- -bill!
