scp issue
hi,
after scp from a mac to a unix server and back a set of .wav files (originally generated by ppt with 'record narration') become corrupted somehow, and when opened the sound files has become noise. non-.wav files in the same folder are not affected.

strangely, the problem only seems to arise when the .wav files lack their extension. is there a reason that leaving out the extension can corrupt the files when using scp?

i need to back-up a database i want to know there is any way to avoid this problem short of adding .wav to all wav-files (which creates a different set of problem because ppt doesn't find them anymore).

thanks,
halcroves

scp

scp(1)								   User Commands							    scp(1)

NAME

       scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)

SYNOPSIS

       scp  [-pqrvBC46]  [-F  ssh_config]  [-S	program]  [-P port] [-c cipher] [-i identity_file] [-o ssh_option]  [ [user@]host1:]file1 [...]  [
       [user@]host2:]file2

DESCRIPTION

       The scp utility copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh(1) for data transfer, and uses the same  authentication  and  provides
       the same security as ssh(1). Unlike rcp(1), scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for authentication.

       Any  file  name	may  contain a host and user specification to indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host. Copies between two
       remote hosts are permitted.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -4		       Forces scp to use IPv4 addresses only.

       -6		       Forces scp to use IPv6 addresses only.

       -B		       Selects batch mode. (Prevents asking for passwords or passphrases.)

       -c cipher	       Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This option is directly passed to ssh(1).

       -C		       Compression enable. Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to enable compression.

       -F ssh_config	       Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh(1.).

       -i identity_file        Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA authentication is  read.	This  option  is  directly
			       passed to ssh(1).

       -o ssh_option	       The given option is directly passed to ssh(1).

       -p		       Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.

       -P port		       Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Notice that this option is written with a capital `P', because
			       -p is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in rcp(1).

       -q		       Disables the progress meter.

       -r		       Recursively copies entire directories.

       -S program	       Specifies the name of the program to use for the encrypted connection. The program must understand ssh(1) options.

       -v		       Verbose mode. Causes scp and ssh(1) to print debugging messages about their progress. This is helpful in  debugging
			       connection, authentication, and configuration problems.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       host1, host2,...The name(s) of the host from or to which the file is to be copied.

       file1, file2,...The file(s) to be copied.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       1	An error occurred.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       rcp(1), ssh(1), ssh-add(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1), sshd(1M), attributes(5)

       To  view  license  terms,  attribution,	and  copyright	for OpenSSH, the default path is /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWsshdr/install/copyright. If the
       Solaris operating environment has been installed anywhere other than the default, modify the given path to access the file at the installed
       location.

AUTHORS

       scp  is based on the rcp(1) program in the BSD source code from the Regents of the University of California. The authors are Timo Rinne and
       Tatu Ylonen.
