I am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS, i'm wondering, for file copies and other LAN communications - but really only matters for large file copies, if i can use the HPN patch acquired(loosely) via:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:w-rouesnel/openssh-hpn
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssh-server -y
echo "
HPNDisabled no
TcpRcvBufPoll yes
HPNBufferSize 8192
NoneEnabled yes
" > /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo service ssh restart
Obviously i can call local("scp -o NoneSwitch=yes -o NoneEnabled=yes source destination:"), but it would be nice to call put() somehow. I realize if i parallel this task it will become i/o bound, but am more curious about if its possible within fabric to override these SSH options. I see i can supply a default .ssh/sshd_config file, perhaps the magic lays there.
