I've tried scp and ftp now as well, they all seem to hang in a similar way when transferring 'large' files, that's files of a few MB. The biggest file I'm trying to copy is about 14MB.
Random thought.
One thing I've seen before with large files stalling has been where the MTU settings were lower in some part of the network. Usually noticeable on large transfers.
Possibly since you're connecting *into* your system maybe your router or the remote system has a lower or higher MTU than your ssh system.
Running "ifconfig" will tell you. A value of 1500 is typical for Ethernet/RJ45 networks.
If they're all at 1500 then ignore me ;-)
The mtu on my Linux box is 1500 (just checked).
The mtu on the remote system is 1500 (also just checkd)
I can't find any reference to MTU in the Zyxel router so I have no idea what that's using.
