    can you post the error you are getting?? try using rsync cmd, which runs over ssh protocol and furthermore provides a lot of configurable parameters.

    Just verify if you have healthy connection to the server. Apart from that if this is some kind of backup utility, I would suggest you to use rsync to take network backup for sharing files. It is secure as well
