 timeout downloading files with SCP So, I have been trying to download files with SCP from my host.
The first 400M works like a champ, but then it just stops, and eventually timeout.
Anyone seen this before?
I am running ESXi 4.0 U1

Re: timeout downloading files with SCP haven't seen it before. Do you have the encryption set to blowfish?

Re: timeout downloading files with SCP I assume this is just the preference I would I set in my SCP client?
Is that what you would recommend?

Re: timeout downloading files with SCP Yes. I use WinSCP and the default for SSH is AES. Changing the policy to have blowfish listed first speeds things up a bit.

Re: timeout downloading files with SCP Same behavior. I am using WinSCP, and I have seen this behavior with 3.5 and with 4.0.
Might there be some log I can check?

Re: timeout downloading files with SCP Look at /var/log/message and /var/log/vmware/hostd.log.

Re: timeout downloading files with SCP Is it just with SSH? I.e. is it OK with the vSphere client datastore browser or with FTP?

Re: timeout downloading files with SCP Do you get a timeout error if you transfer from ESXi to a VM running on the host? Did this start after the update to 4.0?
