Subject: Re: SCP doesn't complete transfers of large files

I remember a post about a month of  ago that described the bug in detail.
The problem is even more problematic with rsync.  The author of the message
went on to propose a solution.  Unfortunately, I don't think the person was
a programmer, so there was no actual source code patch.  It doesn't seem
like anybody else had time to look into the problem.  I keep meaning to, but
work always gets in the way.  About the best I can do is suggest the
workaround I normally use...

ssh -T foo "tar cfz - somedirectoryorfile"|tar xvvfz -

Certainly, this is ugly, but it works without the incomplete transfer
problem.
