Resume a large scp transfer
December 18, 2006
Today I was tyring to transfer a huge file over a ssh connection. Everything was working fine, but at 94% the connection stalled and the transfer has been interrupted. $#!”&%, I thought, but luckily joen.dk helped me a lot!
If you need to resume an scp transfer, try with rsync:
rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh user@host:remote_file local_file

—partial —progress

--partial --progress

“–partial –progress”

Excellent advice. For some reason, scp stalls on me occasionally. Using rsync instead solved the problem.

Thank you! Didn’t want to throw away 1.3GB of my 5.2GB file transfer just because it stalled and timed out. Worked great!
