We are having an issue with SFTP slow transfers, here is the network setup
Laptop --> ASA --> CSS --> Server
Laptop = Inside Interface
Server = Security Level 50
Default gateway for the servers is the CSS. When we try just FTP it is very fast. When I put laptop on the same network as the servers SFTP is fast. But when I plug my laptop the way I explained above SFTP is very very slow.
We did another test:
Laptop --> CSS --> Server
Now in this scenario where the servers are no longer behind the firewall SFTP is also fast. Doesn't make sense why when there is a firewall in the picture it is so slow because its not FTP and it shouldn't require any inspect statements or any other configuration. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
