sftp

[Robert_73]

Sftp is too slow to download data, is there any other way to transfer data from UNIX box to another securely?.

[David Burgess]

I'm just starting to look at secure shell. It might do the trick. Take a look at www.ssh.com

Regards,

Dave.

SSH is always a better option.

Hi,

Since you are using sftp, you already have ssh installed since sftp (alike scp) uses ssh at the backend.

Try increasing the buffer size:

-b buffer_size

Since the default is only 32 kbytes, you can increase this to a larger value.

Hope this helps. Regards.
