Remote copy (rcp) fails with one specific file

[Martin Simonis]

I have a file (an Oracle temp tablespace data file, though I don't think this is relevant). I can copy it (cp) anywhere within the server, but if I try to remote copy it (rcp) to any other server, the process hangs after transferring about 2M.
File is about 200Mb and there is pleanty of space on the target servers. Fails in exactly the same place when trying to rcp to 2 different servers.
The permissions are all OK.
I can rcp larger files and smaller files, but there is something about this particular file that causes rcp to fail.
Any ideas ??

Martin,

Did you try compressing it and then rcp'ing?.

The 'rcp' man page states the following information:

-S size This option sets the size of the socket send buffer.
-R size This option sets the size of the socket receive buffer.

How large is 'size'?
