Package: openssh-client Version: 1:4.1p1-3 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/scp
Hi, When you transfer a file via scp, it appears the old file is truncated and then written when bytes arrive. This means the file is unusable while the transfer is in progress and this is undesired for certain types of files. Also, if the transfer is aborted the file is left in an invalid state. Would it be possible to make transfers atomic? Advantages: File remains valid during transfer. File remains valid when transfer is aborted. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.51 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libedit2 2.9.cvs.20050518-2 BSD editline and history libraries ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7g-1 SSL shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
