I'm seeing the same issue. I just updated all installed cygwin packages thru installer, but problem remains.
test: open an xterm.. $ which ssh /usr/bin/ssh $ mkdir test $ echo "test" > test/test.dat $ scp -r test remotehost:~/ $ ssh remotehost ls -l test total: 0 The directory gets created on remotehost, but no files are copied. I've seen another post on Google groups about this here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.security.ssh/browse_thread/thread/9ae6327826efc433/ -Andy -- 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/
