Hi
My sftp script is transfering files at a very slow speed.
Normal sftp transfer speeds from the server are around 10 Mb/s.
Transfers using the script are around 500 Kb/s.
Is this normal?
Is there anyway I can speed up the transfer rates?

This the ssh portion of my script:

 use Net::SFTP;
 use Net::SSH::Perl;

sub OpenSSH {
        my $user = "****";
        my $a = "******";
        my $Path = "./../../usr/local/logs/";
        open (LOGFILE, ">$DataPath/$Month2Word/$Month2Word\_LogFile")
|| (warn "Can't open file $Month2Word\_LogFile\n");
        print LOGFILE "Connecting to $Name ...\n";
        close (LOGFILE);
        my $sftp =
Net::SFTP->new($Name,user=>$user,password=>$a,debug=>0,ssh_args=>[port=>22])
|| die "Can't connect $@\n";
        #make our connection
        foreach ( $sftp->ls($Path) ) {
                my $Line = "";
                $Line = $_->{filename};
                if (($Line ne "\.") && ($Line ne "\.\.") && ($Line =~
m/[0-3][0-9]-$Month2Word-$Year2Work*/) && !($Line =~ m/summary/) ) {
                        $sftp->get("$Path/$Line" ,
"$DataPath/$Month2Word\_$Type/$Line");
                }
        }
}

Thanks in advance.
