I tripled the speed of scp to an old 486SX/33 simply by turning off compression. Once I worked that out I added a line to the ssh_config and forgot about it. There is an encryption 'none' which would help even more, except for the fact that it doesn't always work :( (or not available). -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > "the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or > religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. > Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do." > - Samuel P.
