Bandwith limit with pscp (parallel scp) #93

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I would like limit the bandwidth pscp may use when copying.
This is very useful if we want to copy a huge amount of data
without suffering from slow network for a long time. 

Limiting bandwidth is done asily be achieved using the "scp -l" switch.

Could you implement a new swicth (to pscp) to pass the bandwith option to scp?

You should be able to use the "-x" and/or "-X" options to pass options to pscp 
that are "forwarded" to scp. Thanks to these options, there doesn't need to be 
a a custom pscp option for each and every possible scp option. Does this help 
answer your question? Thanks.

But how can I transfer -l option to scp, when -l is also used by pscp for 
different purpose?
I am trying to run pscp -l 100 ... but it doesn't work.
Can somebody give an example?
