There are chances that the large files which are being copied over SSH using SCP command might be interrupted or cancelled or broken due to various reasons such as power failure or network failure or user intervention. The other day I was copying the Ubuntu 16.04 ISO file to my remote system. Unfortunately, the power is gone, and the network connection is dropped immediately. The result? The copy process is terminated! This is just a simple example.
