Native to scp.. this can't be done. A real pain if you're in the middle of a
big, recursive scp upload with a bunch of image files to your web photo share
or fileserver... lemme tell ya.
Just discovered an easy work around for this after my RR hiccuped and my scp
session locked up on me. In short, just continue by using rsync (over
ssh)! :)
If you initially did your scp via:
scp -rp ./local/dir user@remotehost:/path/to/remote/file
Then just pick up where you left off using:
rsync --partial -av ./local/file user@remotehost:/path/to/remote/file
NOTE: Just be sure to leave off the trailing "/" on rsync's dir name...
otherwise it interprets this to mean "copy contents, not the dir too". ;)
Real time saver though!
