Subject: | Compression does not work with Openssh 4.3p2 |
I am trying to connect with Net::SFTP to a Fedora Core 5 server which
has Openssh 4.3p2 installed. With the "compression => 1" option, it
fails with:
No matching comp found: client zlib server none,zlib@openssh.com at
/dp/usr/imb/perl/lib/Net/SSH/Perl/SSH2.pm line 89
It looks like openssh 4.2p1 introduced a new delayed compression method
identified by "zlib@openssh.com". It is possible to change newer
versions to support the old method by setting "Compression yes" in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config. It would be nice if Net::SSH::Perl could support
the new delayed compression mechanism.
