Hi, I'm not sure if it would help, but I checked out MTU on eth0 (eth1, whatever) when I had similar hiccups on 'scp' transfers of large files. The default was 1500 and I adjusted it smaller, in various tests, and got better results. But, I was on Linux and you seem to be HPUX. You might search on MTU and sftp and find some ideas. One lesson I learned is never 'scp' transfer a file without afterwards comparing size on both ends in my scripts. ;-) Good luck.
