title: sending a large file with SCP to a certain server stalls at exactly 2112 kB
body: <p>There is a certain ubuntu 10.04 server where if I ssh a file onto it from any server that is outside the office where this server is (meaning any of use scp-ing onto this server through LAN from within this server always works for some reason), then scp-ing fails for any file over 2112 kB in size, and is stuck at 2112 kB.
  So</p>
  
  <pre><code>scp -vvv /home/attila-szeremi/aszeremi.tar.gz  attila@server.hu:~/aszeremi.tar.gz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>shows something like <code>1% 2112KB 909.2KB/s - stalled -</code> dynamically at the end, where the KB/s becomes lower and lower.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know what may be causing this and how I can fix it?</p>
  
  <p>What I have tried so far:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Limiting the speed with scp -l 2000. It just made the file sending slower, and at 2112 kB it got stuck again.</li>
  <li>Enabling compresison with -C. It was still stalled at the same size.</li>
  </ul>
