I am having trouble transferring large backup tarfiles to a ssh server on my home network. The connection gets interrupted several times an hour, while the file transfer may take several hours. I've used wget extensively for overnight ftp or http downloads over a bad dial-up connection and found it quite trustworthy, so I am looking for a similar download/upload manager that works with ssh and can resume automatically after a broken connection.
I tried the manager "curl", which indeed resumed after a broken connection and eventually reported 100% completion, but the uploaded file was corrupted. If anyone has experience with a file manager that can can resume sftp transfers reliably on a broken connection, please let me know.
Thanks. It worked fine, but maybe my network is having a good day. From what I find on the web, rsync will not automatically try to reconnect, unlike curl or lftp. You have to retry manually or from a script, but worth the trouble if rsync is the most reliable.
