The scp command copies files between machines. Copying between sites can saturate the link. To control bandwidth, use the -l parameter, in Kbit/s.
For example, copy file.tar.gz to the home directory on s1.ezylinux.com, limiting bandwidth to 200 kb/s:
[root@Ezylinux ~]# scp -l 200 file.tar.gz s1.ezylinux.com:~An SSH connection may fail with no matching host key type found when a newer client disables ssh-rsa and ssh-dss. These options configure compatibility.
If SSH to a Debian/Ubuntu server returns no hostkey alg, the SSH client failed the host key algorithm check while connecting. To fix it, check permissions…
If connecting to a server over SSH fails with "no hostkey alg", as in the example below: debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.1 [192.168.1.1] port 22.
