It would be interesting to see how fast SCP is between your Linux servers,
and then comparing that speed with transfers from Windows to Linux with an
SCP client (assuming all else is equal). SCP between Linux servers has
always seemed fast to me, while using WinSCP has always seemed slow. I've
never had to migrate large files with WinSCP so I've never put much thought
into it. But if SCP between Linux servers is much faster then you at least
know that the issue is not the SCP protocol itself (although a client may
be using a version that may have something to do with the issue). I agree
with Hans; you should give other clients a shot.

We are copying our database files and have noticed some strange results.
Copying from Windows to a Linux server using putty (pscp) is orders of
magnitude slower than copying to a samba drive and then moving the files to
the Linux server. Can someone suggest places to look as to why copying
directly to the Linux server is so much slower?
