Noting you mentioned iTerm, I thought I might be able to recreate it on a Mac (OS-X 10.4 with 1.4.3 (100) version Terminal, I had removed iTerm due to unreliability sometime back). I copied a 23094 byte program I was working on locally in MacVIM. I =20 first did a cat >testfile then pasted through an ssh terminal.app connection =20 over satellite (very bad connection) into a FreeBSD 7.0 box I built in the last month. At the far end it received 23094 bytes. sftp of the file to the remote and diff showed no differences. I then opened an ssh session to a FreeBSD =20= server on my local lan and repeated with the same results. No problems. The problem does not appear to be obvious or common so there must be =20 something unique about how this situation if you have reproduced it on two different terminal programs using ssh that would work correctly to other servers using the same shell and collection method (e.g. cat >blah). Something missing here. Have you checked if you have errors shown on the interface of the server? Are there losses if you =20 sftp the files from your machine to the remote (Try pushing a 1.5 MB file and see if that shows failures). Did you install something other than the =20= default OpenSSH on the server? Do the text files have something other than text in them or even control sequences for the remote? Just taking =20 potshots here. A somewhat side note here, I would personally never think to move =20 files this way since it's quite possible that content of files can disrupt the =20 stream. I tend to use sftp. > A friend of mine tried from gentoo linux on his laptop (he'is using > yakukake (terminal)), and reproduced the same issue, but different > amount of bytes (3221 for the server that receives 5181 from me). > > Is there some stupid sysctl setting? or something like that?
