I imagine because an ssh connection is persistant - once connected via ssh, multiple commands can be sent on a single connection, whereas scp makes a new connection for each copy. > What about if you use ssh-agent? Does that solve the problem? ssh-agent solves the problem. So does using these 2 lines: ControlMaster auto ControlPath /tmp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:%p in ~/.ssh/config, and having an existing ssh connection to the remote host. Then 'scp' will reuse the existing ssh connection and not need the user to specify a password. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
