Long ago I sent a patch to add resume feature to scp(1) but Damian Miller rejected it because it would break backward compatibility.
Nammala mathiri poor nations pathi yaruku kavalai? ;) So I came up with this idea. In case your upload fails at a particular point of any file( file type does not matter at all) Then dd can get you the remaining bits to be uploaded like this. $ dd if=upload.iso of=remaining.bin skip=1232322 bs=1 Remember! You have to know the byte offset (1232322) and bs=1 will take care of that. And once you get the two files at the remote end. $ cat broken.iso remaining.bin > full.iso Try it! After that of course you have to run a sha1 checksum to ensure that the file is not corrupted. I shall send the language tip later. I shall be analyzing the trickle source code. Look at this. http://monkey.org/~marius/trickle/trickle.pdf It is a bandwidth control application. It is an amazing tool but I have never used it. ;) Hopefully I will use it soon at one of my client locations. I will take time. Please bear with me. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
