Hi,

When I try to transfert a big file through scp
I have the following error
with a file less big, the transfert is OK

I removed the .profile of the remote file,
with no success, same error
The transfert with sftp is OK

Is there a problem with big file and SCP ??

Thanks in advance...

Can you create files of the desired size in the destination
directory ? (I don't think you said what the size was.)

Does it help if you use ssh and cat or dd; and not scp ?

Those want updating.

The file is 3GB size
I am on a filesystem with largefiles enable ...

ssh servername 'cat > new_remote_file' < old_local_file

I did:
ssh servername 'cat < old_remote_file' > new_local_file
(I pull the file )
It works well
sftp works also

Any idea
Thanks again
