I've been trying to improve my transfer times when moving files between my laptop and my desktop. So I got a new Gigabit router (to replace an older one that only did 100 Mbps) and new CAT-6 ethernet cables. I was thinking that I used to get close to 10 MBps before the router switch, but afterwords I only get between 2.5 and 5.Improved SFTP transfer speeds
I've been looking into the problem. I setup my Linux box with an NFS server as Windows 7 has an NFS client built-in, and I got transfer rates of around 20 MBps. So I was thinking maybe SSH overhead is slowing down my transfers.
Had something changed in recent FileZilla versions? Should I see a big change with this new release in file transfer speed?
I'm going to test an FTP server and a Samba server to see if I get better results than the NFS server, but I really like FileZilla and I already have OpenSSH installed and configured, and would like to let it alone if possible.
Background if it matters:
Laptop: Windows 7 64-bit Intel Core2Duo 2.0GHz Integrated Dell 1 Gigabit ethernet CAT-6 SATA.
Desktop: Gentoo Linux 64-bit Intel Core2Quad 2.66GHz Integrated RealTek 1 Gigabit ethernet CAT-6 SATA OpenSSH 5.5
Netgear WNR3500L Gigabit Router using NAT
Both machines are plugged in directly to the router and are not setup in any power saving configuration.
