Scp/Rsync transfers stopped working?
Hi all,
I have a backup script from my work computer to my home computer for my research for multiple reasons. It's a simple rsync script, with about 5 gigs of data. (Obviously with rsync it doesn't transfer 5 GB every time.).
Recently, it has stopped working, scp also doesn't work, it simply stalls after transferring a few MB. Nothing has changed on the server end. I can SSH in to the server, but it is a lot less reliable than it has been in the past, it'll often result in a broken pipe error. Sometimes it'll just freeze and refuse to give me a new prompt.
I don't know what could have happened, nor do I know what to check. The bandwidth of the connection is plenty (upload of the client is 300 MB/s, DL of the server is only 20 MB/s, but is still plenty.) Most of the daily changes only result to a few MB or so, and the script used to finish within a few seconds, now it just hangs on rsync and eventually quits most recently with error 255.
Any help would be appreciated.
