ssh - Using SCP and nohup to transfer large folder between servers - Ask Ubuntu


i want copy ~50gb folder 1 server another. understandably going take quite while, i'd able perform "in background". using standard scp command requires me keep console open. read nohup, seems should trick, i'm struggling work. seems require console left open - after typing in command, nohup program remains open, , if press ctrl+c exit transfer stops. misunderstanding nohup does? or how else can achieve this?

the name nohup refers hup signal, traditionally sent processes when (telephone-)line terminal connected through server hung up. nohup prevents signal being sent, when "hanging up" nowadays means "closing terminal window".

tl;dr want close terminal window (or kill ssh connection on side) instead of logging out of server regularly. nohup keep process running, if terminal connection breaks in 1 way or another.
