I have been trying to transfer large files over scp and sftp but they always stall / time out and fail. If they are small its ok like around 10megs its ok. But when they are like 50megs or 300megs they ALWAYS fail! I have tryed everything SSH built into freebsd. ssh v3 and v2 from ssh.com. SSH from /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable I have tryed every cipher in ssh1 and ssh V2 and I had more luck transfering files to the machine its connecting to but if I connect to a machine and scp the file back it always files. I use key based authentication. EG -rw-r--r-- 1 michael michael 331808388 Jul 25 17:51 file.tar.gz These are the typical commands I have used scp -C michael@192.168.1.77:/home/michael/file.tar.gz /usr/home/michael/backups2/file.tar.gz scp michael@192.168.1.77:/home/michael/file.tar.gz /usr/home/michael/backups2/file.tar.gz And all the different possible ciphers Then I will end up with this file.tar.gz 6% |**** | 20392 KB - stalled - And then a timeout. ssh 192.168.1.77 tar -cz -g $tardata $backupdirs -f - " | dd of=$path/today/$servername-FULL-$date.tar.gz or even sftp, they all fail. I am using new hardware.. intel 100mbit cards on pentium 3 /celeron machines. Tryed on machine different machines and many different versions of stable 4.3 I just want to make it work! but everything I try fails, I am going crazying trying to make this work! I dont want to have to make a compromise and use something else I mean scp and sftp are for transfering files right? And also why doesn't OpenSSH have DSA support for scp and sftp like ssh.com's scp2 and sftp2? I would really appreciate some help.
