Looks like you loose network connectivity. What about ping, sftp, etc?

Connection is through, ping is fine. File transfer transfer few bytes and then stucks..

How do i increase bandwidth for transfer to a host?

I've seen this problem when there was a duplex mis-match between the network interface on one of the machines participating in an scp transfer and the switch port it was connected to.

Ping testing is not sufficient to detect a problem related to duplex since the problem manifests with longer transfers.

Use ethtool to check the settings on the interface and the link partner.

Do you have any errors/overruns in "ifconfig" output?
