scp doesn't support resuming downloads??
I was trying to remote copy some large files (CD ISOs) from my college while I was at work and had decent bandwidth.
So, I decided to "scp" the files to my laptop. So, when I looked
back at the Cygwin window, the download was stalled at 696MB (99%).
I then realized that I wasn't sure if scp does resuming of downloads
(if the file is partially downloaded already, restarting where you left
off).
After checking, I realize that, indeed, it does not. This,
frankly, is ridiculous. But, google came to the rescue again and
helped me find
this web site which has some shell scripts that basically do the same thing. It actually uses ssh and dd to do the job, but it works.
I only had to modify one hard-coded path at the top of scp-resume.sh to make things work.
I'm happy
