rsync

I transfer lot of games into Steam deck. I am mostly using scp for transfer

scp -r Games deck@192.123.1.122:/run/media/drive/NonSteamGames/

If your connection interrupts halfway, scp doesn't provide an easy way to resume. That's where rsync comes in.

You can use:

rsync -avP --partial Games deck@192.123.1.122:/run/media/drive/NonSteamGames/

Use --partial (or the -P flag which includes it) allows rsync to keep partially transferred files, making it easy to resume if the connection drops.
