| detuneattune | How would one diagnose the reason behind slow SFTP speeds? I understand that it's on average slower than FTP, but I still feel like it could be much faster than what it is now at the very least | 02:15 |
|---|---|---|
| detuneattune | I ran a mtr but it didn't show any issues with my local network, and using a VPN didn't make any difference to the speeds I got over SFTP either | 02:16 |
| detuneattune | Would changing the sysctl settings on my server be worth a shot? | 02:16 |
| JanC | why would it be slower than FTP? | 02:19 |
| detuneattune | It's what I had read online when I searched the problem up a little while back. https://serverfault.com/questions/559501/ftp-ftps-sftp-scp-speed-comparison and https://support.cerberusftp.com/hc/en-us/articles/203333215-SFTP-transfer-speed-why-so-much-slower-than-FTP-or-FTPS- | 02:22 |
| JanC | I guess you can easily check if the encryption is the bottleneck: check CPU usage on both computers to see if it is running at 100% | 02:28 |
| JanC | (while doing a transfer over SFTP) | 02:28 |
| detuneattune | I didn't think to try that, just tested it now and it doesn't look like that's the issue either | 02:32 |
| alkisg | detuneattune: where are you using SFTP, in your LAN? What's the line speed? What is the SFTP speed you're getting? | 03:50 |
| DK31 | when two virtual machines have the same ssh key fingerprint, what indication is this? is this bad practice? | 07:33 |
| JanC | it probably means they are clones & you didn't customize its host key | 07:38 |
| JanC | whether that's good or bad depends probably | 07:38 |
| DK31 | is that a security breach | 07:38 |
| JanC | not per sé | 07:38 |
| JanC | unless one machine is yours and the other is controlled by someone else, then that's bad :) | 07:39 |
| DK31 | you could propably jump from machine to machine ? | 07:40 |
| alkisg | DK31, suppose you ssh to servera, and it's down; I have serverb and I changed my IP to servera; that means that you login to my server thinking you login to yours. I can now see all the traffic, passwords etc that you think you're sending to servera. | 07:43 |
| DK31 | but dont i need also have access to serverb then? | 07:44 |
| alkisg | I can arrange my ssh server to give you access :) | 07:44 |
| DK31 | sure.. thats true of course | 07:45 |
| alkisg | It's my code, I can say "sure come in" even you provide an unknown username/password | 07:45 |
| JanC | if both are your own machines, it could be handy & okay to have them identical in some (but not all) cases | 07:52 |
