Re: Secuer copy (scp) issue

Hi John,

Sorry if you've already explained this, but...   which log are you 
referring to?

I've never heard of it combining parameters like that, before.  The only 
thing I can think of is a bug in the program/script that is launching 
scp.   Unless, this is happening on the server side, which would make 
sense, considering that you say that the server is what changed...  but, 
if this is happening on the server side, I would think there's nothing 
you can do to fix it on the client side.
