As part of a backup solution, I am using s3cmd to transfer a load of files.
I have four different jobs with directories of different sizes and files of different sizes.
Three of the jobs runs just fine. The last job, though, hangs at the message:
Retrieving list of remote files for <...>
And when I say it hangs, I mean that it doesn't go any further. It stood frozen like this for a full week on a 100% stable office internet connection.
Now, the directory it is trying to upload is a large one. About 306GB. This is by far the largest of the jobs.
I saw a post on StackOverflow with a problem similar (not identical) to this, and the accepted answer said to edit .s3cfg and set a bigger socket_timeout. I changed it from 10 to 180, but it has not made a difference.
Any idea what to try next? I've come up short in my googling.
