hello everyone,
i am trying to sftp (using filezilla) a big file.
The server accepting the file is on the far side of an openvpn channel.
At random times during the transfer the link will break and the transmission
will die. filezilla tries to reconnect a few times without luck...
a while later the link will come back up, but filezilla has stopped trying to reconnect...
The problem occurs at random times... this is a 2GB file that i'm trying to copy
sometimes the disconnection will occur when even less than 70MB have been tranfered.
other times about 300MB can be tranfered before a disconnect.
But surely the whole file will not be tranfered.
NOTE: If i setup an ssh tunnel and attempt the tranfer, it will happen flawlessly.
openvpn log says some:
dsa/79.130.119.218:42815 [dsa] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting
which seem relevant
so I went ahead and added a
keepalive 10 60
statement in all my client.conf
but no use...
the firewalls don't seem to be blocking anything relevant, so i'm curious as to what's going on
Any help will be greatly appreciated
