I have a SuSE 8.1 box and an AIX 4.3.3 box sitting on the same LAN, a few feet from each other, and for some reason their ssh stream is being bottlenecked and starved into stalling.
If I run 'ssh -C' it works fine. Same is true of 'scp -C'. In fact, the throughput goes from around 4kbytes per secod to over 15MB when I use the '-C' flag.
If I do the same exact transfer (without the '-C') from either machine to another AIX box, it works perfectly. It is only the communication between these 2 boxes that is problematical.
Linux Box:
OpenSSH_3.7.1p2
SSH protocols 1.5/2.0
OpenSSL 0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003
AIX Box:
OpenSSH_3.7.1p2
SSH protocols 1.5/2.0
OpenSSL 0.9.7c 30 Sep 2003
I've seen this same question all over the Internet (scp stalled), but no answers that apply. Your assistance is appreciated.
