For first post, please answer the questions below!

### Describe your issue in detail

Using Cells Client v4.0.0, I noticed that there is limit of 100 files when transferring files regardless of the file size.

### What version of Cells are you using?

Pydio Cells Home Edition 4.1.0  
Cells Client version 4.0.0

### What is the server OS? Database name/version? Browser name or mobile device description (if issue appears client-side)?

Server: Ubuntu 20.04  
Client(s): Ubuntu 20.04, Zorin 16.2

### What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already?

CEC versions 2.2.0 and 4.0.0 were tested on two different instances of Pydio Cells Server. Both were limited to 100 files when transferring files using ./cec scp. Image attached for reference.

Yep, there is a limitation on the client side, thanks for the detailed report.

Ideally, could you please enter an issue in github ?

For the record,  
Issue is there: [CEC scp file transfer limit · Issue #10 · pydio/cells-client · GitHub](https://github.com/pydio/cells-client/issues/10)  
Thx to @Odz and the [4.1.0-alpha2 release](https://download.pydio.com/pub/cells-client/release/) fixes it (+ many small improvements).

Feel free to give it a try 🙂 !
