I wonder what shell you're using? openSUSE's rsync defaults to ssh, right? So rsync and rcp should be about the same, I'd think. I'll have to fiddle around some more. No shell. This is using the rsync daemon at the other end. See the double colon on the command?
Roger! I didn't notice, it makes sense now. scp gives about 1/2 the throughput as a non-encrypted stream. Consistent with my observations.
About ssh. I understand that Anton says that cypher none exists but is not listed. So I tried:
cer@Telcontar:~/tmp/ssh> scp usage: scp [-346BCpqrTv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program] [[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2 cer@Telcontar:~/tmp/ssh> scp cer@isengard:messages . messages 100% 2642KB 33.5MB/s 00:00 cer@Telcontar:~/tmp/ssh> scp -c none cer@isengard:messages . Unknown cipher type 'none' cer@Telcontar:~/tmp/ssh>
This is what I saw too.
There are still some mysteries lurking about here somewhere... Maybe "none" has to be enabled at the other end first - which I will not do, it faces outside that machine.
I think that's the rub: "none" isn't available unless sshd is patched and re-compiled. I still don't understand how Anton can do it with his Dreamhost account. I look forward to his report after he examines his data stream. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
