[ale] [ot] Xmpp, ejabberd question

[James Sumners]

XMPP is really not the right tool for this. Rsync is what you want:

$ rsync -P -e "ssh -l username" file.to.transfer
remote.host:/path/store/file/

Where "username" is the SSH user you will be using to transfer the file.

tunnel is broken, the file is corrupted. From what I have been reading, if
a session drops in xmpp, it picks up where it was dropped and continues. I
am working inside a c-class private subnet.
