Description

Hi this is an amazing app, however I found that when uploading a big file, the difference in speed is significant compared to other SFTP clients.

When I uploaded a video to my SFTP server, it only uploads at 1.2 MB/s on Material Files.

The speed is 55MB/s on FTPClient
The speed is 56MB/s on GhostCommander.

My testing is uploading the same video to the same SFTP server.

Would appreciate your input on why this is happening or any settings I can increase the uploading speed.
