Description Lars Clausen 2003-02-10 16:22:24 AEDT 
When I try to transfer a 1.2G file over a 768kbps line with scp, it says 'stalled' &#013;whenever the estimated time left is over an hour.  The connection is fine, it looks&#013;like the stall check just uses estimated time left instead of counting actual&#013;transfer rate and then accounting for the size.  This transfer should take about &#013;4 hours, but after 2 hours it'd only done &lt;10%.&#013;

Is your link high-latency? Try increasing STALLTIME in scp.c a little.

I the connection actually stalling? Can you concurrently check whether the file
is  increasing in size?

Also, do large FTP or HTTP transfers exhibit the same behaviour?
