Re^2: Error checking on system SCP

I'm not sure I follow.

I'm just giving it junk on the path. I want it to fail. I'm trying to test my error checking.

The problem is, I haven't gotten the code to trigger the error checking, because my test for whether or not the SCP was successful always says that it was, even if it wasn't.

Umm (sorry, i must improve my english skills ...) "I'm just giving it junk on the path." It seems to be the problem. You must pass a well formed path (user@(dns-name\|ip-address):/path/to/somewhere), or scp will acts as a simple 'cp' or copy. try this errors: dns name does not exist host is down target directory does not exist user incorrect (you must pass the password) Regards turo `perl -Te 'print map { chr((ord)-((10,20,2,7)[$i++])) } split //,"turo"'`	[reply] [d/l]

try this errors:

dns name does not exist
host is down
target directory does not exist
user incorrect (you must pass the password)

perl -Te 'print map { chr((ord)-((10,20,2,7)[$i++])) } split //,"turo"'
