I downloaded the enw version of SSH: http://filedump.se.rit.edu/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-5.9p1.tar.gz
I extracted and searched the source for `-f --` The -f is a hidden flag to tell the host to expect a file, but I cannot find any documentation as to what the -- is for. i did a search and replace on -f -- to -f in scp.c in the extracted directory. I ran make and make install. >From the new SCP binary, the -f -- no longer was issued, only -f. Issue was resolved for me. I can submit a patch in a moment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/674390 Title: 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu4 (scp <host>:ns_sys_config) problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/674390/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
