I have remarked a huge difference in the transfer rate since we
changed our server from SSH1 (RSA) to SSH2 (RSA): transfer felt from
3000Kb/s to 10Kb/s. I am using PSCP 0.53b to download and backup huge
amounts of files from a Debian to a W2K machine. When I use WinSCP2 or
PSCP 0.51, transfer rates are high (3000Kb/s).

As I understood, the PuTTy team take this as a low priority bug, as it
has nothing to do with their devlopment. So why is it faster with an
old version of PSCP and with WinSCP2? The same protocol is used, or am
I wrong?

Is there any alternative to PSCP which can work with command lines, in
a dumb MSdos batch, using keys stored with Pageant?

Thanks and have a nice day!

I cannot tell you why the speeds have slowed down, but I can tell you
that psftp still seems to work at full speed in SSH2. You can still
quite easily sript it using the 'batch' switch.

I just tried with PSFTP: unfortunatly it is as slow as PSCP (100kB/s).
Thanks anyway,
