it looks a the first line. If the
first line is #!/bin/bash (usually referred to as she-bang /bin/bash)
then when you run "./script" the OS will ask /bin/bash to run the

suggest something else

I would us gzip or bzip2 and then gpg if you want encryption.
If it just during copy then sync over ash has always worked well for me (and
