"ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls" does in fact work in both Terminal.app and with a worksheet. Yes, the original scp command works fine in Terminal. In BBEdit it hangs forever with ssh running. It takes a mouse-in-box and COMMAND-DOT to make it quit. I tried changing parameters in $HOME/.ssh/config and discovered that I can't add a colon and a directory path to a HostName line. I guess that's not surprising. Both BBEdit and Terminal correctly process this: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "cd /usr/home/macn/ftp/bob/ ; ls" I now suspect there is something special about the colon which can confuse BBEdit or whatever magic trickery goes on between BBEDit and its shell. It is, after all, a directory separator in HFS+. These lines: set remote = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/home/macn/ftp/bob/" scp $WORK/Pictures/BaggageCardboard.JPG $remote make the scp command operate as expected in the worksheet! And NO. It is not because my first try had a typo semicolon instead of a colon. The only real difference is that the variable definition probably hides the colon until it gets to my tcsh shell. If someone from Bare Bones is listening I'd like to know if that's a known bug. -- Applescript syntax is like English spelling: Roughly, though not thoroughly, thought through. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
