Thank you for those suggestions, it's appreciated. Although I get the same 
results with setting those values both on the server and on the client. SCP 
starts full speed, but at 20% of the 200 MB file it starts to stall. All ICMP 
traffic was open on both firewalls at that time.

Hmmm....

Kind regards,
