FTP Dreadfully Slow - MacFuse 0.5, Macfusion 1.2 beta3

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On a Macbook Pro running Tiger 10.4.10 and doing file transfers of many
small files to a remote FTP, for website update.

Transfers take abominably long, being a minute to get the candy-cane,
another minute for it to ask whether to replace, and another two minutes to
copy the 16KB file.  Each iteration goes through this, so I've had to
switch to Cyberduck for the time being (which is fine).  Sometimes the
delay is so great that it asks whether I want to Force Eject, but I Keep
Trying and it then completes.

No idea whether the problem's in MacFuse or MacFusion.

When I mount a remote disk manually with MacFuse 0.5 and the latest
manually compiled sshfs plugin all is well:
/usr/bin/su bill -c '/usr/local/bin/sshfs bill@hex:/ /Volumes/hex -o
IdentityFile=/Users/bill/.ssh/id_rsa,Ciphers=aes256-ctr,volname=Hex,umask=077,ui
d=501,cache_timeout=1,cache_stat_timeout=1'

Been too skittish to try and mount the sshfs volume using MacFusion until
we have an idea what's up?

I wish MacFusion had an sFTP and BitTorrent plugin?

I've tried -o defer_auth but no improvement.

Using -o ftpfs_debug=3 -d -v I get the attached.

I would much rather do FTP over SSH, what with the DMC4, M!l!tary Comm!ss!0ns 
Act,
and "Pr0t3ct Am3r!ca" Act, et al... it's the N3w World 0rd3r nowadays.  H4b3us 
c0rpus
has been rescinded.  Remember, what was OK yesterday, may not be tomorrow.  SSL 
is
too likely to have g0vt/c0rpor4te backdoors.  SSH desired, for all uses.

Thanks for the report and log. I'll draw it to the attention of the CurlFtpFS 
developer.

Since your last report, have you either 

* downgraded to version 0.4.0 of MacFUSE

or 

* upgraded to version 1.0.0 of MacFUSE?

I have left an instant message for the CurlFtpFS developer, no response yet, 
hopefully he will receive it later.

Neither.  I've just used a conventional FTP client, hoping that someday the 
problems with 
MacFusion would be fixed.

I know this is quite a old issue, but...

I am using Transmit4 FTP client, which also offers to mount remote FTP sites as 
drives using MacFUSE. I can open 
&save files in Transmit and it takes about 0.1 sec. If i do the same on the 
mounted volume, it takes around 5-10 
seconds. I know this is not really a MacFusion problem, but there is something 
seriously wrong with the FTP write 
speeds in MacFUSE.
