Hi All, During scp, I am seeing this message protocol error : expected control record This message came because scp sink was expecting the message starting from 'C' or 'D' , something like C0644 299 group or D0755 0 docs but during dns query we were printing "Using IP address" message on the stdout. So , the message in the buffer was "Using IP address" and thus message "protocol error : expected control record" was thrown. Is openssh scp should always expect 'Cmmmm' or 'Dmmmm' messages ? Is fix available for taking care scenario where on stdout something is printed. Thanks Ravi Pratap
That's a known drawback of scp, messages on stdout by other programs interfere with it. The “solution” is to .use sftp instead.
Anyway, you should only be printing that message on interactive sessions. Commands like: ssh myhost "cat /etc/passwd" > passwd-copy shouldn't be prefixed with the ip address you were using :) _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
