I use this:
```shell
rsync -rah --progress /path/on/source/ user@ip.of.local.server:/path/on/destination
```
I will try the ping next time I attempt this. There doesn't seem to be a definite time when the issues start though. It tries to copy the file over, and when it is done it continues to the next. If the first one didn't succeed, it will retry and if that also fails, it will say "ERROR verification failed - discarding update" (paraphrased) and continue to retry the next file if that also failed.
I do see some fluctuations in the transfer speeds during transfer, which could indicate the times the connection is struggling.

If you're getting file verification errors, it probably means there are issues with files on one end of the other. So a few things: 1) What's this remote machine, and have you checked the filesystem recently? 2) Have you checked the filesystem on your local machines you're copying files from? 3) Have you tried copying to an empty remote.traget directory and seeing if you still get these errors? 4) If 1 & 2 are fine, and then 3 works without problems, make a short list of some of the files that are throwing errors. Do they happen every single time at these same files? What's unique about these files?
