OpenSSH and FXP setting

[dwoods99]

As for file size, we're talking 4-12 GB files/directories.

One thing I still don't "get" is that FXP is supposed to make server-2-server transfers faster, that's fine but I can't see how
local_PC-2-server will go any faster because of FXP compared to sftp with multi-threading.

Does anyone think that using Pro-ftpd or Pure-ftpd with FXP enabled will be any faster than SFTP for
transfering from user's local PC to a Linux server, using FlashFXP on the user PC?

FXP transfer allow to transfer files directly between 2 servers.
If SERVER A has 100mbit connection, SERVER B has 100mbit connection but CLIENT has only 56k connection, FXP transfer will still go at full 100mbit.
data is being sent between 2 server directly bypassing client's (slow) connection.

in addition to pureftpd and proftpd, read http://vsftpd.beasts.org/
