Resume scp after a lost connection

thecakeisaliein:

If you lose your network while doing

scp file_name remote-host:/path/

you can run the following command to resume your scp.

rsync —partial —progress —rsh=ssh file_name remote-host:/path/

By default rsh is not secure. Hence we tunnel using ‘—rsh=ssh’ option.

What can possible go wrong in an evening

• realizing the procedure you were following since 6 times is bad
• raining when stepped out of the office
• power cut on the street I travelled on along with the traffic travelling at 3kmph
• stuck in rain on bike for 20 min 
• delayed the plan by 3 hours

I was excited when I saw the smoke as the rain drops try to cool off the hot tar that is being laid on the flyover that is to be opened in the next few weeks/days.

Mac/PC : Portal 2 in India

I was browsing for new movies yesterday in a store and came across the Portal 2 PC/Mac game which sells for Rs. 699 in the store. The game costs $50 on Steam and $30 at Amazon . Flipkart sells it for Rs 622( ~$13 ).

Though eventually Steam could get the pricing down to $10, its a good grab if you do not want to carry CDs around since Steam manages your games and progress on the cloud.

If you are India, you could buy from flipkart for the best price.
