Keep Your SSH Session Running when You Disconnect

  • 22 Apr, 2013

I am installing several softwares this week remotely, from my home office. Keep the ssh session is a key for the success.

Screen is like a window manager for your console. It will allow you to keep multiple terminal sessions running and easily switch between them. It also protects you from disconnection, because the screen session doesn’t end when you get disconnected

A basic tutorial about screen you can read here

Another configuration is to tell you ssh terminal to send keep alive. I use MobaXterm. This can be configured using the menu settings – ssh

rsync is faster than scp to copy files between machines

  • 31 Dec, 2024

rsync is generally faster than scp for copying files, especially when transferring a large amount of data or syncing directories. Here's why: 1. Incremental Transfers - rsync: Only transfers the parts of files that have changed, rather than the entire file. This makes subsequent transfers much faster. - scp: Always transfers the entire file, even if only a small part of it has changed. 2. Compression - rsync: Supports compression during the transfer (using the -z option), which reduces the amount of data sent over the network. - scp: Also supports compression (using the -C option), but it doesn't have the same efficiency in skipping unchanged data. 3. Resume Support - rsync: Can
