[SOLVED] scp got stuck although it shows "100%"

[esolve]

I want to copy a file to a remote machine
but the scp got stuck
although it shows "100% 63KB 62.9KB/s 00:00"
the file actually hasnt been transferred
but if I transfer another file, it is OK
this file is not big, just 65KB
and only a txt file with many lines
what is wrong with this?

Hi,

Does sftp exhibit the same problem?

anything in your messages log on the remote side?

have you tried adding another -v to scp? (e.g., scp -v -v )

you can try a strace, too, e.g.:

strace scp file user@blah...

It does not look like you are telling scp where to copy the file to. If you want the file to be copied into the the directory that you are currently in, give this a go:

scp -v urls.list esolve@138.96.201.109:/user/esolve/home/tor/url_folder .

Note: the space then the period at the end of the string.

No, that's not right. You are thinking of scping something locally, I think. the OP's command now will copy "urls.list" to the dir "/user/esolve/home/tor/url_folder" (or to a file of that same name, if the dir "url_folder" does not exist. or it will fail outright if the parent dir does not exist.

Right you are atreyu, I noticed that after I posted. Mea Culpa.

[atreyu]

Hey no worries, and by the way - Hello and Welcome!

[astrognome]

Thank you!

I modified the MTU on both machines to 576
and then it works fine

Excellent, thanks for posting your solution.

Marking as solved.
