Hi, I'm using rclone to mount an external backup storage (sftp). This is my rclone mount command:

/usr/bin/rclone mount Storage: /mnt/Storage --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-size 50G --vfs-cache-max-age 1h --vfs-read-chunk-size 512M --max-backlog 999999 --fast-list --transfers 16 --allow-other -vv

The issue I'm having is that I can't increase the file upload speed. Let me explain, I can increase the --transfers parameter and yes, it will be faster because more files are uploaded at the same time, but what I want is to increase the upload speed of a single file!

Ex:

  • --transfers 4 --> 700 KiB/s
  • --transfers 8 --> 1.8 MiB/s
  • --transfers 16 --> 3.8 MiB/s

Which is fine when there are a lot of files, but if there's only one big file, the upload speed will be around 200 KiB/s...

Does anyone have any idea how I can change this?

What's the upload speed from a regular sftp client to the same destination?

Just tried that, using simple sftp command, a single file uploads at 4.5/5 MiB/s
