SFTP on servers running with Pterodactyl is consistently slow and constantly timing out.
Example(s)
No examples to show right now.
Cause(s)
Firstly, our NFO servers use a standard FTP server while servers running on Pterodactyl uses SFTP. SFTP is more secure, but generally slower than FTP. With that said, the speeds also depend on your connection to the server. For example, if you have 120ms ping to the server, it's generally going to be slower than a server you have 20ms to.
Secondly, after a SFTP update to Pterodactyl's daemon long ago, it started timing out more often and if I remember correctly, also started performing poorer. I've reported this on their GitHub but didn't receive any useful information (I need in-depth metrics, etc.).
Solution(s)
There is unfortunately no solutions right now. Unless if Pterodactyl alters their daemon code to fix the timeouts and implement a standard FTP server, there's not much we can do.
