the interface is handy but the file transfer rate is freakishly slow compared to pscp or scp in my VM on the same windows machine. i'm only getting about 17kb/s when my overall connection speed can go up to about 1Mb/s (what i've seen not what my provider tells me they're giving me) and i'm pretty sure i've connected to the same computer at much higher speeds before
In addition to seeing similar behavior as @DanPritts (45 MiB/s over gigabit link via psftp vs 12-20 MiB/s via WinSCP), I am able to get faster speeds out of BitVise Tunnelier than either psftp or WinSCP (52 MiB/s) despite it using "slower" algorithms (aes256-ctr, hmac-sha2-256). – kbolino – 2015-11-15T17:12:06.343
1I just did a test of WinSCP vs. psftp (putty's sftp program). Transferring a 500 megabyte file across my home LAN took < 1 minute with psftp. It took about 4 minutes with WinSCP. – Dan Pritts – 2012-12-01T03:30:58.627
