What is the correct way to use compression?

[LadderLogic]

I am only more confused after going through the compression PR and the prior discussion around it here 👽. I have a use case where my .net client application running on windows needs to download a file from Linux server with compression enabled (large bulky uncompressed data). Based on the PR, the default is none. How do I "turn on" the compression from the .net code? Does it automatically pick-up if my sshd on the linux is set to compression? can I do it by session similar to ssh -C?

If the server requires it, then it will be used automatically. If you know that the server supports it, you can disable the default "none" by doing something like:

using (var client = new SftpClient("host", "user", "password"))
{
    client.ConnectionInfo.CompressionAlgorithms.Remove("none");
    client.Connect();
}
