I have a unique problem when using `mget *` within a script. It transfers
about 235 files of about 10K and then hangs. The connection isn't lost and
we are using OpenSSH 3.7 on Solaris 8.

Is there a buffer setting within SSHD config, SFTP, or possibly the OS? I
appreciate your suggestions.

I'd check out if using 'rsync' or 'unison' through ssh shouldn't
offer a more reliable and perhaps even more efficient way of
securely copying data?
