behaviour of ssh/scp over flakey links - timeout/retry?
I'm using OpenSSH's ssh and scp to back up some remote
machines, roughly as follows :
ssh remote-host "tar up a few dirs"
scp remote-host:tarfile local-repository
On the whole, as I'd expect, this works just fine.
But .. sometimes the link is a bit dodgey (for lack of
a more explicit term, this being a polite list :) )
Can anyone tell me how ssh and scp timeout and retry,
