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.

Hi,
I type in my shell:

this works, but only partially.
