File Transfer

Technical resources about File Transfer.

Resume Large File Transfers over Unstable SSH

Use `rsync` over SSH as a restartable transfer protocol: keep partial data, rerun the same command after a disconnect, publish only after checksum verification, and avoid exposing a temporary HTTP server.

Copy Files Between Linux Hosts with SSH

Use scp for a straightforward one-off copy, rsync over SSH for repeatable or resumable directory synchronization, SFTP for interactive/file-oriented workflows, and a tar stream for carefully controlled archive pipelines. The protocol encrypts transport; you still need host verification, least privilege, safe destination semantics, and end-to-end validation.
