I created a 12G tar archive on another computer using nfs. I then brought that archive back again using sftp. Although the size was correct, the archive was corrupted. sha256 values did not match. When I brought it back by nfs again it was fine.

Is this problem reproducible?

It took 5 hours! I am pretty sure I have had this happen to me before. I have lost confidence in it. But for small transfers it is probably OK.

I read somewhere it doesn't do much error checking but I cannot find the page now.

Are all the files regular files, binary or text, or are there more exotic file types present?

There were all sorts of things. It was a backup of /home

The "other computer" was running slackware 14.2.

Have you conflated 'sftp' with 'ftps?' These are two completely different protocols. Your 'p.s.' comment makes me concerned that this is what's happened since ftps is true ftp but over a secure connection, including binary vs text mode operational concerns. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
