I tried that, but it doesn't install. The installer tells me "The
update is not applicable to your computer." This is W7 64 bit on a
Lenovo laptop.
What's also puzzeling is this. I tried this on three virtual machines
as well, W7 32, W7 64, 2008R2 64. In all three VMs scp was almost just
as fast as sftp, about 13 MB/s.
So why is scp (and rsync, too, btw) half as fast on the real HW as on
the VMs while sftp is three times faster?!? That doesn't make sense.
