Summary: possible problem with non-printing characters during scp
copy
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 3.6.1p2
Platform: ix86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: scp
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org

Hello,
System: Red Hat Workstation Edition
Kernel: Linux content 2.4.21-15.0.2.ELcustom #2 SMP Sun Jun 27 10:04:31 PDT
2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
OpenSSH: [content at content content]$ rpm -q openssh
version is openssh-3.6.1p2-33.30.1
I encountered a problem which might be a bug in 'scp' when attempting to do
a recursive copy of files from a existing linux system onto a new linux ystem.
The problem happened when the 'scp' reached a directory which had a
file '???.HTM' in it, and the scp aborted with the following message:
Protocol Control Error
I attempted to repeat the 'scp' the next day, and it died out in the same
directory as the previous day, with the same error message. I tried to remove
the file in question, but 'rm' wouldn't allow me to, so I used 'rm -i *.HTM' so
that I would be asked about each file in the directory one at a time, when it
got to the '???.HTM', it showed that the file was actually
\n\r\n.HTM (and the rm -i allowed me to remove it)
after this file was removed, I ran the scp again the following day, and the job
completed normally without any errors at all.
If you need more information, please email me at dogbert at netnevada.net
