This definitely looks interesting, have you considered an option to use rsync instead of scp?

- stevekemp 8y agoNo, I had not. Interesting idea. Presumably over the existing SSH, rather than using the rsynd-deamon? Not a bad idea, but I guess I'd need to think about it. Mostly the "large" files I pull from github, or distribution sites. I tend to only upload some simple config-files, and systemd-service units. So the extra overhead of SCP isn't so significant.
- silverglass 8y agoYes, rsync communicates with the rsync at the other end automatically over SSH. You could use rsync by default and then fallback to scp if rsync isn't usable.
