It sounds like a misfeature on the z/OS side. I've never had scp do anything but binary transfers, no matter what combination of remote and local systems I was using.
scp is basically BSD rcp, over a SSH connection, which I believe only handles binary transfers. Fuzzy On 2/20/07, McKown, John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Is there any definative documentation, such as an RFC, which states how scp handles the files that it transfers? In particular, I have the Cygwin scp on my Windows XP system.
