Reliable data transfer over an unstable connection?
There is a Macbook with a slightly buggy Wi-Fi adapter, after 5-10 GB of data transferred via Samba or SSHFS, the connection falls off. If you immediately start the transfer again, everything goes fine.
Question. How to transfer many gigabytes quickly through unstable and falling off Wi-Fi? There is rsync, but it does not have a GUI and you need to fence scripts like:
#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]
do
rsync -avz --partial source dest
if [ "$?" = "0" ] ; then
echo "rsync completed normally"
exit
else
echo "Rsync failure. Backing off and retrying..."
sleep 180
fi
done
