I suppose it could be related to the XP piping problem, but I only have NT and W2K. All I can really say is that it never happens (to me, anyway) on NT. It certainly sounds like what others have described on XP.
The transfer that fails is a "pull" whether I'm using scp (which fails) or the tar-to-tar method (which doesn't). It kind of has to be that way, too, because I can't be sure that sshd will always be running on the destination end to support a "push" mode of operation. -- GPG public key <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> available from public key server network or from www.blorch.org/bob Fingerprint BA4A 552C BE3D 8C40 ED76 F372 DF9E 320D 37FA 16AC -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
