SFTP ",u" (comma and u letter) option when downloading from HP-UX server

[KeitthMura]

I was downloading a file from one HP-UX server, to an Red Hat Linux server. The file is around 6 or 7 GB.

Rebaid Rebate Program

Using sftp, I tried getting the file, but no matter how many times I try, it always reaches 80% and just exits. No error code, no error description, nothing.

Another team was copying the same file, so they shared their script, and apparently, in the get command, they add ",u":

get XYZ,u XYZ

I tried doing that and to my surprise it worked. However I cannot find that option anywhere else online, and I sort of want to know what is it.

Hello KeitthMura,

It seems you are using the script at Red Hat end as you are getting the file from HP-UX to Red Hat using sftp/get .
There is no ,u option available with Secure Shell (sftp) on HP-UX .

What's the sftp software available in Linux and HP-UX ? and what's the version ?
