don't want banner displayed when using scp
Smilie

Is there a way to prevent the banner from displaying from the remote host when using scp? I see from the man pages that the '-o' option passes args to ssh and I've tried several variations of:

Code:
scp -o "-q" file remotehost:


Anybody got this to work?


Thanks in Advance

According to my manpage scp supports -q without the -o, which should suppress not just ssh messages but also the progress meter.

Worst case, you can ditch such messages with scp file hostname: 2>/dev/null

True. I want the progress meter but not the banner from the remote system.

Try creating a .hushlogin file in your home directory on the remote server:

Code:
touch ~/.hushlogin
