I think part of the issue is that some of the output is to stderr. stderr and stdout can overwrite each other in fascinating ways. I'd urge you to use "scp -v foo bar 2>&1" to keep all of stderr and stdout, and avoid overwriting one with the other. > I've tried putting the command in the background (&) and waiting for it, > using the LocalCommand option to add a wait, and redirecting output to a > file.

Have you considered using "rsync -e ssh" instead of scp, to get more meaningful dialogue for most transfers? _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
