FileZilla SFTP Compression Mod

[artn3r]

I recently downloaded nearly empty vmware vmdk files from my server,
and i saw that the connection speed is as low as downloading
full files. FileZilla3 has no option to enable ssh compression,
so a did a modification to the source code:

http://www.artn3r.com/public/filezilla-compression/

It just works for me, i download my vmdk files at over
20Mbyte/s on my 24Mbit DSL Line.

The only source file i've changed is sftpcontrolsocket.cpp.
I changed the line

Code: Select all

m_pid = wxExecute(executable + _T(" -v"), wxEXEC_ASYNC, m_pProcess);

to

Code: Select all

m_pid = wxExecute(executable + _T(" -C -v"), wxEXEC_ASYNC, m_pProcess);

This enables the compression over ssh whenever calling the fzsftp.exe binary.

Have Fun,
Christian
