Why when I transfer a file through SFTP, it takes longer than FTP?

I manually copy a file to a server, and the same one to an SFTP server. The file is 140MB.

FTP: I have a rate arround 11MB/s

SFTP: I have a rate arround 4.5MB/s

I understand the file has to be encrypted before being sent. Is it the only impact on the file transfer? (and actually this is not exactly transfer time, but encryption time).

I am suprised of such results.

Is there a public secure FTP site for testing? [closed]

I've had problems with the vendor's security certificate and I want to find a clean secure FTP server to test against. Does anyone know if there is a publicly available secure FTP site that can be used to test programs against?

Are there any good free .Net network libraries? (FTP, SFTP, SSH, etc.) [closed]

I'm a bit surprised I haven't found a good open source library for performing common network tasks. There are a few very good commercial libraries, but they're too expensive to use on an open source project.

Anyone know of any?

Differences between SFTP and "FTP over SSH"

While looking for an SFTP client in C# SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), I've come across these two suitable projects - one and two.

While trying to understand the basics, I came across this confusing Wikipedia article. What is difference between SFTP and FTP over SSH? No library seems to give support for "FTP over SSH", if it is different.

A good free ftp plugin for Sublimetext 2 [closed]

I am new to Sublimetext and wondering what is a good free FTP plugin to use with it. Thought the editor must have something inbuilt in it. I have seen developers use some sort of FTP plugin with it. Feedback appreciated.

I am on a Mac Moutain Lion so respective solutions would be awesome.

Thanks.

is there a way of listing the contents of the local directory in ftp?

lcd changes local directories.

and ls lists files on remote directory.

What I would like is lls, to list files on local directory.

Is this possible? I know i can always open another terminal to do this, but I'm lazy!
