similar to: username check in scp

I'm curious how to go about submitting a suggestion that affects both the original BSD version and the portable release. A few days ago I sent off a BSD-relative patch to openssh at openssh.com. Is this the right thing to do? I didn't hear anything back, but it's only been 3 days, so I'm probably just being too antsy. In the meantime, maybe someone else out there would like to

Hi there, I have a need to have scp pass the -P option to ssh to "bypass" the packetfilters that doesn't allow connections to return to arbitary "priviledged" ports, ie. ports <1024. See attached context sensitive diffs against 2.2.0p1 to please integrate. Thanx Hendrik Visage -------------- next part -------------- *** 1.1 2000/10/11 13:31:45 --- scp.c 2000/10/11

the configure option --program-prefix does not work although it is listed in teh configure --help output. The attached patch fixes these issues: 1) program prefix is not substituted in configure 2) program prefix is not present in Makefile 3) scp requires use of a known "scp" program -- bryan diff -cr openssh-2.9.9p2.orig/Makefile.in openssh-2.9.9p2/Makefile.in ***

I've experienced some troubles using scp with remote files with spaces, amphersands or parantheses in their filenames on Linux hosts. This happens: stain at false:~$ scp "bender.linpro.no:blapp blapp" . scp: blapp: No such file or directory scp: blapp: No such file or directory stain at false:~$ scp "bender.linpro.no:blapp&blapp" . bash: blapp: command

Here is a patch to scp made against openssh-2.1.1p2 that adds the -L option to scp. The -L option tells scp to use nonprivilaged ports (by passing ssh the -P option). The non-free ssh's scp has this option, and it is required under some firewall setups (like mine) for scp to function. Please let me know if there are any problems with this patch, or if there is anything I can do to help get

Hi OpenSSH developers In the source file *scp.c* there is a function called *okname(char *cp0)* that validates the entered username by using the scp command as follows: * *[ Fragment scp.c start ] ... int okname(char *cp0) { int c; char *cp; cp = cp0; do { c = (int)*cp; if (c & 0200) goto bad; if (!isalpha(c) &&

Hi I found this issue in scp in the following blog link http://oldpapyrus.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/scp-a-funny-error/ when the wrong local file name is specified in local to remote transfer mode, scp first tries to establish the connection rather than to check first whether the file is proper or not. However I could not find a reported bug for this. I am attaching the fix as patch for this

Hi there, I've written some enhancements to scp.c and pathnames.h to enable the scp to arbitrarily set the remote scp path. (eg $ scp -e /usr/bin/scp foo user at bar:foo) I did read the "scp: command not found" FAQ entry but I'm not quite sure why we can't do this, unless it's because enhancements to scp are no longer a priority. Any other reason why it "is the

Why does the local scp determine what characters are valid in a remote host userid? A friend of mine just had his ISP convert him to using a userid of the form 'user#isp-acct' (eg, "ssh -l 'joe#foo.org' foo.org" is used to login). The OpenSSH ssh and sftp commands both allow this form of userid. However, it seems that scp has its very own idea of what characters are

[Please Cc: me, I'm not on the list] fsh (http://www.lysator.liu.se/fsh/) is a program that keeps an ssh tunnel open and multiplexes multiple batch sessions through that single connection, avoiding slower public key crypto for things like cvs. fsh includes an utility called fcp that can multiplex file copies through this single connection. It relies on scp for the actual file copying,

Hi folks, I have the that I must copy some through a Plag-Gateway of a Firewall over 2 host. A secure connection via "ssh - t hosta ssh -t hostb" works fine, but does this work with scp too? Icould not realize it either with scp (1.2.27 of ssh.com) or scp from openssh. Do you have any ideas? Thanks Stephan

I'm fond of the "-a" (archive) option of cp, and I'm a heavy user of scp, so I guess it's inevitable that I would eventually add support for "-a" to scp. :-) Actually, it's a "-L" flag for preserving symlinks, and a "-a" flag that is shorthand for "-Lpr". Please let me know if I'm not doing this right.... I made a great

I don't know if anyone would be interested in this but I'm including a patch to allow for offsets when transferring files with SCP. It's pretty simple and assumes the user knows what they are doing (for example, if transferring with a wild card the offset would apply to all files). -A is the number of bytes offset from the beginning of the files. -Z is the number of bytes inset

If you've applied my previous scp patch with the tempfile options and the erase option, here's a diff that tweaks it a bit more. Previously I had decided to use getcwd() in a certain local-to-local special case (that needs to use scp rather than regular cp). This was because spawing scp via ssh resets the current directory. This patch choose to forego that in favor of a simpler

I have a client (Fedora 19) and a server (Fedora 14/Samba 3.5.11) which works fine. I'm now setting up a new server (Fedora 20/Samba 4.1.3) with more or less the same smb.conf 1. Issuing: sudo smbclient -L //srv001 -U suser list all shares correct. 2. Issuing: sudo mount -t cifs //srv/Share3 /mnt/share3/ -o username=suser Password for suser@//srv/Share3: **** Retrying with upper case share

I've setup dovecot to auth both system and virtual users but it is refusing to work. It keeps saying user is not found.
