no, when you did it you specified that it was to copy a file called ssh. just leave ssh out altogether. if you want to specify the remote shell to use, specify it with -e ssh, if you want to rely on the default, leave out -e, and leave out "ssh" unless you really DO want to copy a file called ssh. > > -- > #Joseph > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
