I’m setting up a Jellyfin instance on my laptop running Ubuntu Server Ubuntu 24.04.1. I am trying to use scp from my Windows 10 desktop (git bash) to transfer the files. However I consistently get a lost connection error during file transfer (not instant, part of the file transfers before dropping connection). I am currently trying to transfer a 3.22 GB file using pubkey authentication, though all files fail at some point using both pubkey and password authentication.

With smaller files (tested with ~2 GB file), it will eventually transfer after a few attempts, but it’s up to chance. I need to be able to transfer many large files.

I am able to open and maintain an ssh connection with no issue, it never drops connection. My internet connection is perfectly stable. Why might this be happening, and how might I fix this? Any help would be appreciated!
