UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

How about fn to fn:

Code:

 
scp oracle@172.16.0.11:/back/crmemo.csv /sales/crmemo.csv

or turn on verbose and quote the args for stability:

Code:

 
scp -v 'oracle@172.16.0.11:/back/crmemo.csv' '/sales'

Finally, what revision of ssh?

Code:

 
ssh -V

output of script with -v scp...

I see from your post that you are running the scp command as non-root and script as root.
What happens if you run the script as non-root?

I am running every thing from non root because i don't have root's password...

What happens to the file name if you copy to another directory such as /tmp?

could you post the current result of ?

Code:

cat make_copy.sh

by the way :

Code:

debug1: Sending command: scp -v -f /back/crmemo.csv

On which OS are you ? what does the -f option do ?
you should specify source and destination, i only see the sourcefile, but not the target location ...

nops, i tried to copy the file on root but same problem... getting file name as '?' but i opened the file ($ vi ?) it shows the contents of original file.

This mean i am successfully copying the file but problem is with name ....
