Troubleshooting stalls using scp

From Notes

Jump to: navigation, search

I recently had an issue where I was trying to scp a file from a network in Washington to a network in New York over an IPSec tunnel. Every time I would try to transfer the file it would get to a random level of completeness and stall.

I was able to fix this problem by limiting the bandwidth that scp uses, thanks to page. You can limit bandwidth to scp by using the '-l' flag. 

scp -l 2000 source destination
