I have 2 servers that are connected over the internet (not a secure connection), A and B. I'd like to mount a folder from B on server A for the purpose of later generating and transferring a lot of files from A to B, there will be nothing transferred from B to A.
The number and size of files is high, so I'd like to sacrifice encryption for speed, but since both servers are internet-accessible, I still need some sort of authentication.
I've tried sshfs, but the speed was abysmally bad compared to rsync, I've tried a bunch of settings to make it faster, but it didn't help much, esp. since arcfour encryption seems to be removed from ssh now.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Disclaimer: I have seen this post, but it's about transferring already existing files (for which rsync works fine for me), I'd like to generate and transfer files without saving them locally first.
