Downloading files from SSH over an unstable connection

As mentioned earlier I am doing a lot of traveling at the moment, which means that I am mostly on a mobile connection.

I needed to download a 100Mb file from my Linux server, and with scp the download would fail.

Instead I am now using this rsync command that would resume if the connection drops:
rsync –partial –progress –rsh=ssh root@rauw.dk:filename.exe filename.exe

Also, if you are using SSH on a slow connection, typing things make lag, you can use this command:

rlwrap -a ssh user@address

    Grin med Danmarks Mest spændende Lattercoach Thomas O. Flindt. Grinekursus med Danmarks sjoveste griner er både oplysende og skrigende sjovt.
