           Summary: scp won't transfer files to or from the root under
                    Cygwin
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Cygwin on NT/2k
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: scp
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: bradshaw at staff.crosswalk.com


Scp has some path issues when transferring to or from the root file system of a 
windows machine (cygwin).  It creates a path that begins with //, which 
indicates a UNC path on Windows.  I sent in patches for similar issues last 
year.  
 
The fix is a one line change to determine if the path is "/", and not double
up on the slashes.
