Full Discussion: Difference in file sizes being copied by scp. HELP!
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Difference in file sizes being copied by scp. HELP! Post 302653283 by Corona688 on Friday 8th of June 2012 03:39:51 PM

I take it there are two processes here -- a local one which copies the files over, and another on the server, which runs unseen, and extracts the .gz files into logs.

You shouldn't be mixing and matching like that when they're both working in exactly the same folder. Either do it from one side, or the other side, not both. There will inevitably be mistakes when one or the other starts at exactly the wrong time.

If it had to be split, what I would do is this:
  • Local program: Upload files into /data05/oradata/tempfolder/ or somesuch. Once the upload's complete, move them into /data05/oradata/dpdump/. Incomplete uploads will never appear in the final destination.
  • Remote program: Extract gz files in /data05/oradata/dpdump/, then delete the gz.
