Use rsync with compression -z.
Doesn't rsync usually use ssh for transport? Ssh also compresses by default,
It does?? That's news to me. I don't think mine does.
It doesn't here, either, unless I add "Compression yes" to the .ssh/ config file for the connection in question. There is an option in /etc/ ssh_config to enable it, but the default is "no".
From my experience, ssh (rsh) is reliable for very large files. I routinely transfer multiple gigabyte-length files on a local network.
Every night, I transfer about two gigs over the internet from Germany. No probs.
Same here, but I have found that ssh is really touchy when it comes to lost packets. I used to tunnel VNC over SSH for a remote connection with a flakey NIC, and the ssh session was always dropping. I'd suggest that Bogdan might look to see if there's any packet loss taking place, because that would very likely cause a problem.
