[ale] [ot] Xmpp, ejabberd question

[Brian Mathis]

Have you considered using rsync?  It's pretty much a drop-in
replacement for scp, and allows you to resume if you use the --partial
option.  It won't detect and restart the transfer if the connection
drops, but you might be able to come up with some script logic around
it to make that happen.
