Does anyone know how to check the default SSH data receive rate in
Unix.
thanks

No. SSH to my knowledge doesn't throttle anything though, so as big
a pipe as you've got, it'll use.

The reason I asked is because the user is getting a windows size error
and this is what he sent:
Can you please verify what the data window size is for the server you
are connecting to? The error that you are seeing is stating that the
SSH data transfer rate is larger than the SSH data receive rate on the
server. Once the remote host is able to verify the SSH data receive
rate, you should be able to adjust this rate for this connection.

Window size in TCP is about MTU not rate.
I think window size control packets are ICMP? Lots of sites
block ICMP so you can't ping or traceroute them. It also
blocks various other ICMP functions like redirects and status.
The TCP stack should handle this autoamtically. It gets the
error or fails to get returns, then automatically reduces window
size to see if that helps. If that's what they are seeing then
it's actually doing the right thing in the face of blocked ICMP.
