SCP Connection Timeout

Hello UNIX users,

Thanks for helping me in my earlier post. Now, I am facing a timeout issue when ever I am transferring a zipped file from my server to client's server.

If the zipped file size is below 3 MB, it goes fine. Anything above that fails.

Below is the part of screenshot from the log file:

+ scp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa xyz.zip target_username@target_ip_address:~/from_source/
Read from remote host target_ip_address: Connection timed out
lost connection


All this happens in less than 1 minute. Even when I execute this scp command manually, the file transfer gets halted after a while.

Please help me take care of this connection time out problem.

Just as an info: I am using SunOS and the target system is UBUNTU.

Thanks,
Sri

NAME
ql-set-cmd-timeout - set the timeout on the devices connected to the QLogic FC HBA. SYNOPSIS
ql-set-cmd-timeout [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
QLogic Linux Set Device Timeout Utility This utility allows you to set the timeout on the devices connected to the QLogic FC HBA. This timeout value applies to the commands sent to the device. This can help when target devices take longer to execute a command, for example under heavy I/O. Setting a longer timeout reduces the chance of the Linux SCSI mid-layer driver aborting the tasks after a timeout. [DEFAULT] Display timeout of devices connected to all HOSTs [HOST] Display timeout of devices connected to HOST [HOST] [TARGET] Display timeout of devices connected to a TARGET on HOST [HOST] [TARGET] [TIMEOUT] To set timeout on devices connected to a TARGET on HOST -h, --help, ? Prints this help message -i, --interactive Use this option to use the menu driven program SEE ALSO
