FTPES is Much Slower Than FTP -- Is This Normal?

[mcjathan]

Greetings,

We're in the process of setting up our BestSync configurations. We want to use FTPES instead of FTP so that our FTP authentication will be encrypted. However, we've discovered that BestSync/FTPES takes about three times longer than BestSync/FTP.

FYI, our FTP server is Filezilla and we're using a 1024 bit cert (the shortest cert available in Filezilla). I've watched the CPU usage on both the BestSync client machine and the FileZilla server machine during the sync process and I see no significant CPU usage on either machine.

Is it typical for BestSync/FTPES to take approximately 3 times longer than BestSync/FTP? Is there anything we can do to significantly increase the speed of BestSync/FTPES?

Regards,

Jeff

Yes, FTPS is slower than FTP, it is normal.
