Description Nai Xia 2009-09-06 07:52:43 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When uploading big files to sftp server, the speed is horribly slow, 
on a 1Gb LAN, it's about 2xxKB/s. It's not right. While using ssh pipe itself, it's full speed -- "tar cf - | ssh server 'tar xf -'".
Is something wrong with kde IO subsystem?

kio_sftp has been rewritten using libssh in KDE trunk (KDE 4.4). This should be much faster now. Reopen if you encounter the same problems with KDE 4.4.
