Hi ALL

I am about to start writing a module for bulk transfer of files using
sftp.

I cant use scripts due to some performance issues amongst others
Going through the web I found libssh and linssh2 API available.

But as per my knowledge these are not available with REDHAT enterprise
linux , which is the OS I am going to develop the module.

Not sure. They are available to mandriva and have been since 2005 (10.2)
You do not tell us which version of Enterprise.
Anyway ssh2 is the more recent one and fixes severe secrurity holes in
ssh from what I know. But why would you write your own implimentation of
ssh. It is hard to imagine where any performance issues would make writing
your own better than useing someone elses stuff. The internet is not that
fast-- ie, transmission timing will swamp any script issues. And sftp is
probably one of the slowest ways. Why not use scp or rsync instead.
Espacially rsync if you are transfering the same files over and over.



Can anybody suggest which one is better option

thanks
