[SOLVED] How fast should scp be?
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5HBFN)
scp seems incredibly slow, and I'm wondering why.
With an i3 laptop --> RazPi 4, I'm getting ~1MB/S, but the ETA for a 490MB file is 40 minutes :eek: Either way, the transfer rate is poor. top reports all processes running in single figures. It's dawdling along. Both are wifi connections over local network and capable on multiples of the speed. The router has never been an issue before. They are USB drives, but each is good for >=20MB/S.
Does scp just suck?
