Thanks, I now use -c blowfish and -C in the command, I can see that some
files are transfered over 500KB and some even over 900KB/s.
A dumb question, could I somehow remove the encryption at all? This is an
internal network, so security is not my concern. I did a google, can not
find any clue to tell scp not bothering about encryption.
For some reason rcp does not work on my cygwin.
Thanks a lot.

File transfers in scp are encrypted and encryption is CPU intensive.
Either your local workstation or your server might not be able to
encrypt file transfer stream at the same speed, your connection is
able to transfer it. You may try to choose different encryption
algorithm on Login dialog. Blowfish is usually a lot faster than AES.
Also SSH-1 is in general less CPU intensive than SSH-2. SCP protocol
is usually faster than SFTP too.
