Howdy all,
I know development on SCP is discouraged but being that it's still
in wide use I thought I would do some work some of my users have
been asking for and allow SCP to resume from a partial transfer.
Would it be possible to instead reimplement SCP in terms of SFTP, and
then add
this feature to SFTP? My understanding is that such a
re-implementation is
something many people have wanted for quite a while.
Yes, and there are patches to do this awaiting review:
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/194
That would be awesome. The more I work with the SCP code the more I've
come to dislike it.
Looking at the performance - on my systems sftp seems to be a bit slower
than scp when dealing with a lot of small files. Not sure why this is
the case as I haven't looked at the sftp code in years.
For 100MB over 2666 files:
[rapier test] time sftp -r me@foo:~/testdir testdir
real 0m10.902s
user 0m1.532s
sys 0m2.679s
[rapier test] time scp -r me@foo:~/testdir testdir
real 0m5.915s
user 0m0.883s
sys 0m1.497s
A test with 6.8G over 19 files has nearly identical performance.
That said, this may be "good enough" for people or it could be an issue
with my somewhat older test hosts. Dunno but I wanted to mention it.
