How to resume scp with partially copied files? [closed]

Answer 1

When rsync stalls as well after couple of seconds when initially running fine I ended up with the following brute force solution to start and stop an re-start the download every 60s:

cat run_me.sh
#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]
do
  rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh user@host:/path/file.tgz file.tgz &
  TASK_PID=$!
  sleep 60
  kill $TASK_PID
  sleep 2
done
