I'd like to have the option to disable data compression when transferring huge files between two machines using SFTP.
For example, a copy job that would take about 6 hours to complete took only 30 minutes when data compression was disabled.
My workaround is to use the command line to copy files using scp and without data compression like this: scp -o Compression=no myfile myhost:/
I was a bit disappointed when I found this settings menu in my SFTP bookmarks but couldn't really do anything there despite the fact that it even says "Compression Method: None" ...
