I am using win-sshfs to mount a remote drive from a Debian Linux server on a windows 7 64-bit desktop machine over the internet. The drive works but it is slow. I want to speed up win-sshfs by disabling compression and encryption. How can I do this? Otherwise is there a faster alternative?

i would suggest installing samba on your debian server or maybe a ftp server for large file transfers.

FTP is unencrypted and you can set different compression options, windows can map a ftp:// share in explorer without any tools

  • SSH (Secure Shell) is not SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). "Slow" can be the result of low bandwidth (compression might help here if the files are suitable for that) or a not-so-powerful CPU (weaker ciphers may help here). – Lekensteyn Mar 22 '14 at 15:28
  • Please don't recomend FTP to people anymore. This isn't 1999 any more. – WhyNotHugo May 22 '14 at 10:37
