| - | ===== Compression ===== | ||
| - | SSH supports data stream compression between the client | ||
| - | and the server. On slow links, this may increase throughput, while in faster connections the added CPU overhead may actually result in | ||
| - | slower transfers, particularly depending on the data type you're transferring. Large text files may still benefit significantly, while | ||
| - | binaries may transfer more slowly. You may want to | ||
| - | experiment to find what works best in your situation. Compression may | ||
| - | also improve security slightly, in part by rendering known cyphertext | ||
| - | attacks more difficult and by providing less data for | ||
| - | cryptanalysis. | ||
