it's not too phenonmenal (I'm not sure if this is MS's doing or not. This is a wget from IIS XP builtin web server. I don't really want FTP accounts if I can do SFTP I can't get the server to launch and or + I don't know how to setup a working account (I don't know the proper syntax for the config file yet)īottom line anyway. as for FTP I haven't gotten it working yet. but everything I'm talking about here is LAN I uploaded the screenshot above btw at 33 kb/s via SFTP and that was acceptable because I have poor upload. I don't think it's asking too much for a secure protocol and fast transfer is it? still these numbers suck.Ī screenshot to clarify warning 1600x1200 - View image here: -Ĭompression is not turned on in SCP and I've moved blowfish to the top as the preferred protocol. I use windows as client and *nix as server but the problem is first off that my normal client won't authenticate to FreeBSD 5.3 (I think it has something to do with keyboard interactive mode?) so I switched to the suggested solution WinSCP and it transferred a 700 Mb file in 6 minutes in SFTP mode and in SCP mode that was looking at 30 minutes.

and I don't want to install proftpd but I don't see much choice just cause LAN transfer stinks. I'm deploying a straight out of the box FreeBSD 5.3 server.

I'm re-opening a question I asked last year.Ĭause I still don't have a answer one year later.
