feature request: add -a to scp for archive-style copy
...cane
(cd wherever1 ; tar cf - whatever) | (cd wherever2 ; tar xpf - )
with
cp -a wherever1/whatever wherever2
Adding a -a option to scp would likewise eliminate the need for the
even more obscure but frequently-typed
ssh wherever1 -l whoever "(cd wherever2 ; tar cf - whatever)" | (cd
wherever3 ; tar xpf - )
Instead, it would be
scp -a whoever at wherever1:wherever2/whatever wherever3
(cpio fans can make the appropriate replacements).
The -a feature doesn't exist under Red Hat's openssh-2.9p2-12, and I
can't find release notes for any more recent version on openssh.org.
If...
