I received a very good explanation from the authors of PuTTY about the slowness in file transfers between a Windows host and a Solaris host whilst using the SFTP2 protocol; > Yes, SFTP is well known to be slow when implemented the really easy > way.

Using the latest snapshot of the PSCP program increases the performance to around 1MB/s, which is much better than what I saw before. For my needs, this is quite sufficient. -Alex _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Oct 7 15:26:58 2003
