Thanks Bernhard, No sftp is a different protocol than Samba. Samba connects to Windows shared folder.
But both rely on the network. I've been struggling to reproduce the problem, now I will try with sftp. I'm starting to think we're seeing network issues. A dropped or corrupted packet could be causing the hang up. I think a much better action would be for the system to report the error or better yet retry it a few times. So the problem is how do we prove it or find a way to repeat it. Tell me about your network. Are you on a wireless or wired connection between the system that hangs and the one with the files? How reliable is it? What kind of through put are you getting? Are you connecting to a system on your local network or over the Internet? Perhaps we could get it to happen and then to a ping for a few minutes and see if any packets are lost. I'll see if I can find a network testing tool that simulates an unreliable network.
