I've found that gftp transfers using ssh are 10 times slower than using scp or sftp natively. Any idea what gftp is doing that slows it down so much? I tried -o Compression=no in the "SSH Extra Params" field on the FTP/Options/SSH tab with no effect. FC2 with gftp-2.0.17-2 the other end is FC1 -- Kevin Street street@xxxxxxxxxx
