So im trying to scp/sftp files from one site in cpt to jhb via ssh but it appears to keep knocking it off with packet corruption.

Tried changing the tx & rx checksum to be off but still drops .. i.e. ethtool -K eth0 tx off rx off

Anyone know why or other things to do? hrmm this is on mweb btw.
 
Hey krycor. Think the line quality is a problem here. Try using rsync'ing the file over ssh, this will at least provide you with a mechanism to continue with the transfer. Example: rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh user@host:remote_file local_file

Cheers dude,

hrm.. cool, will try that. was using scp & sftp which sucked, eventually resorted to winscp on one of my vms.. resync looks like what i need to use. Thanks, i've actually head of it 2-3 times :o to be honest just never really saw the need with connections being pretty stable & decent.

Busy configuring firewalls on my 3 servers to form a mini wan too in future. Fun times ahead.
