Can scp corrupt a file?
If you had two files with the same filename, e.g. then you’ll have a filename collision on /home . Since scp will happily overwrite files on dest and I don’t think it throws a lock on files while it works, copying two different files with the same name to the same place could easily result in a corrupt file.
Can scp continue?
Yes, It does work. However, the scp command doesn’t have resume option, so it will simply start copying the files from the beginning and overwrite the existing files. This is bit annoying and time-consuming task. This is where Rsync utility comes in help!
Can scp resume transfer?
