Throttle SCP file transfers

Afraid that the scp transfer will eat up all available Bandwidth?

To throttle scp file transfers, use the ‘-l’ parameter:

For e.g.: To set the file transfer limit to 1Mbps

scp -v -l 1024 useraccount@destinationhost:/path  

scp -v -l 1024 vmware.log root@10.10.10.101:/tmp
