    Hi!

    It seems that scp2 is timing out while copying large files. There doesn't seem to be a
    pattern or threshold. However, it seems to time out at about the same place with
    each file. For example: a 421MB file usually dies around 382MB, and a 2.7GB file
    usually dies around 1.2GB. Here's the exact error message I get from scp2, and
    then I'm kicked back to a prompt:
    scp2: warning: <filename> (dst): undefined error (server msg: 'write failed.')

    (I substituted the actuall name of the file with <filename>)

    I'm copying from RH Linux 7.3 to RH Linux 8.0. I'm running SecureShell v3.2.2 on
    both boxes.

    Has anyone experienced a similar problem before? If so, did you find a solution?

    If you need more details about my environment & configuration, I'll gladly provide
    them.

    Thanks!
    Mack
