The problem, and maybe I'm just whining here, is that because the data sets are large this takes several minutes where I'm basically just sitting around. This happens once every other day as the VPN software I'm using "times out" after about 24 hours and thus the ssh session dies.
Is it possible to do anything about the VPN software? I use tightVNC to do something similar and it doesn't time out after 24 hours. Even closing the desktop machine down altogether does not lose the ssh connexion. Restarting the desktop a week later will still find the X session without loss. HTH
