Doubt it's anything to do with scp or ssh, it sounds more like a generic memory or heat problem, or an issue with the NIC or HDD controller driver under load. Can you see the F7 box video output in text mode and see if it blows a panic? You can also try monitoring /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature on the F7 box in another ssh session while the transfer progresses. -Andy
