scp not working because of prompt (AIX, tcsh)
Hello,

I have this problem:
I have a server to which I ssh, and it has a special prompt request. The prompt is done by a ?prompt command.

It is fine with SSH, since the prompt I guess gets some input, but when I use SCP, the copy always fails.

So, I was wondering if there is maybe a flag for ssh and scp - so that interactive prompts are ignored.

(By the way, I need the prompt, so removing it isn't an option).
THANKS.

If you mean non interactive or batch mode jobs one solution might be ssh scp passwordless authentication
then you'd better to checkout procedures here

If you mean something else ,then more clarification is needed
