typography (martin) winscp cannot be faster than putty (martin)
Line 6: Line 6:
In case the speed is throttled by connection latency, it may help if you use [[protocols#scp|SCP protocol]] instead of [[protocols#sftp|SFTP]]. SCP is less affected by latency. In this case, it may help if you turn on [[ui_login_ssh#protocol_options|compression]].

-Also there's a lots to improve in performance of WinSCP itself. So it may get better in future versions. Particularly planned integration of HPN-SSH [[bug>17]] from PuTTY may improve transfer rate.+Also there's a lots to improve in performance of WinSCP itself. So it may get better in future versions. Particularly planned integration of HPN-SSH [[bug>17]] from PuTTY may improve transfer rate. Also note that as SSH code of WinSCP is based on PuTTY, file transfers with SSH-based protocols can hardly be faster than PuTTY (PSCP/PSFTP) is. Hence there is no point asking for speed improvements, if you get the same rate with PuTTY.
