Slowness in SFTP

Hello Team,
We are facing slowness issue while accessing the WingFTP Server through SFTP using client like WS_Professional or FTP Rush. But Https option is working quite well.

For example.
Its took 10 min to upload 60 MB data via Https. but in the same date took more than 30 min when we use SFTP.

Please suggest if any settings needs to be done at server end to increase the speed.

Thanks/Regards.

I think it is normal, to increase the speed of SFTP, you can choose "1024 bits" as the key size when generating the SSH key.

They are not using any key... they use scripts or SFTP client to upload the files... what is the minimum bandwidth we required for SFTP Server. Do you have any bandwidth calculator.

Thanks/Regards..

I mean the SSH key on the server side. Just check it.
