[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Net::SFTP copying in 8192-byte chunks?

[Daniel W. <dan...@ds...>]

Hi, I'm trying to use Net::SFTP to set up an automated sftp of about 35 =
GB
(yes, that's GB) worth of data to run once a week between 2 Solaris
machines.  I tried a bare bones test of a 1 GB file using the 'get' =
method,
but it was incredibly slow.  It might have finished after a few days, =
where
the openssh version of the (interactive) sftp command took only a few
minutes to copy the entire thing.

I turned on the verbose option for Net::SFTP and saw that it was copying
only 8192-byte chunks at a time, and I think that's why it was slow.  =
How
does one raise this value?  I looked in the CPAN docs but couldn't =
figure it
out.

Thanks for any help,
Dan
