I was downloading a file from one HP-UX server, to an Red Hat Linux server. The file is around 6 or 7 GB.

Using sftp, I tried getting the file, but no matter how many times I try, it always reaches 80% and just exits. No error code, no error description, nothing.

Another team was copying the same file, so they shared their script, and apparently, in the get command, they add ",u":

get XYZ,u XYZ

I tried doing that and to my surprise it worked. However I cannot find that option anywhere else online, and I sort of want to know what is it.

It must be some server-specific hack.

It's not an sftp option. From the local sftp client perspective, you are downloading a file with a name XYZ,u.
