What to do after a scp failure?

Question

During a massive 10 hour scp over the internet, I ran out of disk space at the destination after 7 hours.

Can I use rsync or something else to run this to completion or am I **ed and have to start all over again?

If I have to start over, I think I will use rsync in case the ISP craps out this time...

Answer 1

rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh $file_source $user@$host:$destination_file 

or

rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh $user@$host:$remote_file $destination_file
