To configure SFTP data compression, follow these steps:
1. Open the SSH server configuration file (usually located at /etc/ssh/sshd\_config) using a text editor.
1. Add the following line at the end of the file:
Compression yes
1. Save the changes and close the file.
1. Restart the SSH server to apply the changes by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart sshd
1. Test the SFTP connection with compression enabled. You can use an SFTP client such as FileZilla or WinSCP to connect to the SSH server and transfer files. You should notice faster transfer speeds due to the compression.
Note: Enabling compression can improve transfer speeds for large files, but it can also increase CPU usage on the server and client sides. If the server or client is a low-end device, compression may not be the best option. You can also try experimenting with different compression algorithms, such as zlib or gzip, to find the best balance between speed and CPU usage.
