FTP with curlftpfs is extremely slow to the point it is impossible to work with

I mounted ftp location by using curlftpfs . The problem is that it is EXTREMELY slow to the point it is useless. The time of performing pretty much everything is about 10 seconds. It even includes getting any VIM command to work, including navigation (!) . I started to think that maybe I'm doing something wrong as it is impossible to work at all with that responsiveness. It would be a lot faster to download->edit->upload files with FileZilla if I need to wait 10s for moving cursor down one line in vim. Anyone have any idea why it could be that? Is it possible to make it faster with some curlftpfs options?

I have pretty good connection.

Solution

  • I figured out that the reason for extreme slowness of vim was powerline plugin. curlftpfs is still slow but I guess it is because FTP is what it is...
