Streaming from sFTP with bad result, increase buffer?

Postby w00t » 10 Jun 2012 20:39

Hi, first post = topic as everyone else.. :D

However, I got a highperformance server running some video encoding on distance. I'm dealing with materials with an average of 2000kb/s. The files will be quite large and it takes a shitload of time to transfer the whole thing via for example sftp everytime I need to check if the result is OK. Streaming would be perfect.

I need a secure transfer protocol like sFTP (user/password login for access to material to stream). Streaming using sFTP today, its really choppy overall. Maybe a second or two is fine before it starts to freeze and buffer. The networkspeeds between me and the server is not a problem, around 9-15MB/s average (150Mbit~) single-threaded via various protocols like https/sftp/tls ftp and such. Tested to stream via regular http but still choppy.

Is there anything I can do clientside to eliminate the choppy streaming? Increase the buffer or anything like that?

Increase the network caching, in preferences.
