Re: copying a 12GB file



I missed the first message, so I'm quoting from a quote:

Is there a reason you cannot use scp?  Even with an old 766MHz I was able to
image a 10gb hard drive with a chain of 'cat | ssh "cat > file"' in around a
half hour over 100mbit.  If you set up ssh keys you won't need a password and
can thus automate it if required.
