Let's look what happens when the user forgets the ":": $ echo 1 > 1; echo 2 > 2 $ scp 1 2 3; echo $? 1 $ cat ? 1 2 2 The most we see is $?=1, no further warnings, we create an arbitrary file and the first file is totally ignored! cp(1) does the right thing: $ rm 3 $ cp 1 2 3; echo $? cp: target `3' is not a directory 1 $ ls 1 2 Also the man page should talk about cases when to and from are all local. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
