SCP command line to move files between ESXI servers

[AvdS]

Im trying to use SCP command line to move files between two ESXI servers but for some reason the VMDK files are only 0,52kb instead of 100gb and I dont get any errors.
All other files are copying fine!

Any suggestions?

Are there files in use by any VM? Possibility would be it just allowing you to create entry and not transferring data since its in use.

Try copying within ESXi to different location and if that works then try scp again
