Darren Tucker <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #1 from Darren Tucker <[email protected]> --- The problem is there's no backchannel in the scp protocol other than the return code. Basically the sending scp says "write this here, this here and this over there" and the receiving scp gets to answer either "OK" or "not OK". The only thing the receiving scp could do in this case is to exit early with a non-zero return code. That would mean that in the case where more than one file is being copied, and only one has a problem (eg file size limit, permissions or whatever) right now all but the problem file will work. Changing it would cause it to work worse in those cases. Sorry, but there's nothing much that can be done with scp. sftp can do it because it's a much more structured protocol and the only suggestion I have is if this matters to you then use sftp. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
