Perhaps you are right and it doesn't have to do with cygwin. I found this to happen when I tried to scp to cygwin with two different clients from 2 different machines (both non-OpenSSH, I believe). On the other hand, when I scp in between these 2 clients, there was no error. So I suppose this is an incompatibility between different flavors of SSH? Can someone suggest a workaround - i.e. settings on the server side (cygwin/OpenSSH) - that would resolve the failure of the -p switch from a non-OpenSSH client? I am using a nice gui for SCPing files between windows machines (SSH Secure Shell 3.2) and would like to be able to continue to use it.
Please don't top-post! Anyway, a possible solution would be to use WinSCP - afaik this doesn't have any trouble preserving the timestamp. I know it doesn't with OpenSSH on debian, so I would assume this is also the case on cygwin - unfortunately I can't test this just now. It's also a very nice tool.. ;-) Chris -- Spinning complacently in the darkness, covered and blinded by a blanket of little lives, false security has lulled the madness of this world into a slumber.
