| - | SUCK DICK THIS SHIT DONT WORK | + | ===== 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. | ||
