Well, I figured out how to change the buffer size (using do_read instead =
of
get), but it didn't really affect the transfer time much. Is it =
possible
that Net::SFTP (or possibly the underlying Net::SSH::Perl) just isn't =
good
for transferring large files? Please let me know if anyone has had
experience that would indicate otherwise; I'd truly love to be wrong =
about
this...
