Depending on what files (e.g. text based files [html, php, css, js, xml, txt]) you want to transfer, SCP could be the fastest if you enable compression. Without compression, FTP should be the fastest. The thing that is usually degrading the speed the most is a huge number of small files. For each file transfer, you have quite some overhead.
SFTP runs over a considerably more robust and generic protocol than FTPS and that robustness imparts a significant performance impact. There is simply a lot more overhead involved in SFTP because it is running over the SSH2 protocol and because SFTP implements its own handshaking mechanism. If you want the highest transfer speeds possible you ...
122. SFTP usually uses port 22 but can be configured to run on nearly any port. Port 22 is generally used for connection via SSH. SFTP is just one of protocols which can be run over SSH (others include virtual terminal). In fact, the SFTP is independent and can be run even without using SSH. SFTP is sometimes called "Secure FTP" which leads to ...
The short answer is use NFS. According to this shootout and my own experience, it's faster. But, you've got more options! You should consider a cluster FS like GFS, which is a filesystem multiple computers can access at once. Basically, you share a block device via iSCSI which is a GFS filesystem.
3. FTP is unencrypted. SSH is encrypted. SSH allows remote shell access as well as file transfer, whereas FTP only allows file transfer. Any data transferred via an unencrypted protocol has an unusual risk for eavesdropping, which could compromise both access to your system and the data being transferred. One of the primary applications of FTP ...
iperf3 reports 942Mbps. SFTP 1GB transfer at 94~100 MB/s. Explicit FTPS 1GB transfer at 19~23 MB/s. Both CPU / IO load is under 20% on htop. For nearly 99% posts I find in google says that FTP - regardless of encrypted or not - will always be faster than SFTP, and I also find it reasonable. I spent multiple days over last few years configuring ...
UNC is not a way of sharing files, but just the addressing mechanism for Windows file shares. The underlying protocal that actually transports the data is SMB/CIFS. If you search for information about the Windows file sharing mechanism, it would be better searching for "SMB" or "CIFS". The other problem that I have with your question is how SSH ...
SFTP is a subsystem of SSH, and SSH by default listens on port 22. FTPS by default runs on port 990, but that's not related to SFTP: in fact it is FTP over SSL. These are two distinct and completely different protocols. SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) only needs port 22 and no other port, therefore is very firewall friendly, and highly secure ...
1. Agreed, Rsync, SFTP and SSH seem to replace all NDM functionality in open, free and, most importantly, easy to understand, ergo secure, ways. NDM is too complex to use in any situation requiring a modicum of security unless it is a full time NDM position where people use it day in, day out and manage all aspects of it.
47. Microsoft IIS server does not support SFTP (or SSH) at all, on any version of IIS or Windows. IIS supports secure FTP (FTPS or FTP over TLS/SSL) though. It's a different (incompatible) protocol than SFTP, but most "FTP" clients support both SFTP and FTPS. When setting up an FTPS server, make sure you disable plain (unencrypted) FTP!
