-In case the speed is throttled by a connection latency, it may help if you use [[scp|SCP protocol]] instead of [[sftp|SFTP]]. %%SCP%% is less affected by the latency. In this case, it may help if you turn on [[ui_login_ssh#protocol_options|compression]]. Toggling //[[ui_login_connection|Optimize connection buffer size]]//, in either way, can help too.+In case the speed is throttled by a connection latency, it may help if you use [[scp|SCP protocol]] instead of [[sftp|SFTP]]. %%SCP%% is less affected by the latency. Though we got reports of exactly opposite behavior too (SFTP being faster than SCP). When connection latency is the bottleneck, it may additionally help if you turn on [[ui_login_ssh#protocol_options|compression]] (though that will have small effect if you are transferring large media files, which are compressed already). Toggling //[[ui_login_connection|Optimize connection buffer size]]//, in either way, can help too.
An underlying TCP protocol can suffer a similar problem too. In which case it will affect all other protocols, including SCP, FTP, WebDAV or S3. An underlying TCP protocol can suffer a similar problem too. In which case it will affect all other protocols, including SCP, FTP, WebDAV or S3.
