http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619 Summary: scp permissions Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 3.6.1p2 Platform: All OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: scp AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org ReportedBy: johnf.ct at netzero.net I hope this isn't FAQ but I can't find an answer for this: If a file named /a/some_file is in Unix machine 'A' and it's owned by user 'someuser', if I run 'scp -p root at A:/a/some_file another_file', I expected the permissions, timestamp, owner and group of the file to be the same as the target_file. The timestamp and permissions are correct but the owner becomes root instead of 'someuser'. I'm not sure if this is a bug but I know some older versions of ssh keep the owner and the group of the file.
