problem while doing Large file transfer thru Scp and FTP
Hi ,
I want to transfer one file having 6GB(after compression) which is in .cpk format from one server to other server.
I tried scp command as well as FTP and also split the file then transfer the files thru scp command. At last i am facing the data lost and connection lost issue.
Generally it takes 1 days to copy the file thru Winscp and nohup command, and at last the o/p is file mismatch, while doing the cksum for split file.

Although i ran the file thru nohup command which is of no use, and same problem of data lost.
Please suggest me the best way to transfer the files easily. SmilieSmilie

WinSCP is never reliable.

Are both linux/unix host that you are using to transfer files?
