Bug#456811: wishlist: asymmetric compression

[Norman Ramsey <nr@eecs.harvard.edu>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.6p1-5
Severity: wishlist

I use the Unison file synchronizer over an ADSL line, where the
downstream connection is reasonably fast and the upstream connection
is slow.  I think such DSL lines are pretty common, and it would be
useful to have an option for ssh to compress traffic in only one of
the two directions.
