I am trying to copy some file via ssh with a SSH-RSA public key. I've already accepted the host key in my server and viceversa so the keys are synchronized. Now I try to connect via SSH to the host and I success, but it freezes if I invoque an "ls" in some folders. Also I try to do an scp request as follows:
scp -v username@host_ip:/folder/folder1/file.txt /home/user/Desktop
And I get this answer:

I have searched and I have tried to change the MTU from 1500 to 1492 but nothing has changed. Does anyone have any clue of what could it happen? Thanks a lot.

The problem was solved by lowing the MTU from the default 1500 in my interface to a value under 1470.
To fix an MTU in a RHEL environment (which mine is):
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
Add MTU, settings:
Save and close the file. Restart networking:
