VPN hangs in file transfer

Apr 13, 2006 5 Replies

I can't transfer files through a network-to-network IPSec tunnel. I can ping, ssh, list files etc... but whenever I try to transfer files (rsync or ftp) the transfer hangs. Via Internet without pass through the tunnel the transfer successes. The tunnel is established between a Linksys WAG56G gateway over ADSL to a OpenSWAN server on the other side. I have problems also when via ssh I use a full-screen command (like `less' or `vi'), the screen goes blank and I have to kill the session.



Any hint? TIA, H.


switch to ViPNet - it has a build-in file transfer more info:

packet size issue ? try dropping the mtu each end

How can I verify if it's a packet size issue? And how about mtu? It is set to 1492 on each side of the tunnel. Thank you! H.

Try dropping it further.

On one of my connections, I had to drop it to 1300 to get it to work properly.
