           Summary: Newlines in filenames are converted to ^J
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.3p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: scp
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: jvoss at altsci.com


When copying a file with newlines (and probably many other characters)
to a server with scp, the newlines are converted to ^J. Since this is
not a direct copy, I consider it a bug. I do not suspect that it is a
feature though I have not checked yet which part of the code is causing
this. In Linux and *nix, all characters are possible in filenames
except null and slash. Unicode is one good reason for this.
