Hi I have an InterNiche ssh server stack running on some custom hardware.
I was trying to copy some files from server to client pc using scp command like scp [email protected]:\\path\\to\\file /local/file/path
but found that connection remains open even after I have received the file at the same time when I use pscp -scp [email protected]:\\path\\to\\file /local/file/path
it works fine without any failure. I used gitbash terminal for both scp and pscp commands.
What I am not able to understand is why there is behavioral difference between both commands, in fact pscp
use scp
itself.
Here is the debug log for PSCP command
$ pscp -scp -v [email protected]:\\demo\\test_1.txt /d/test_1.txt
[email protected]'s password:
Using username "user".

and here is for SCP
scp [email protected]:\\demo\\test_1.txt /d/test_1.txt
[email protected]'s password:

The SCP connection remains open until I hit ctrl+c manually.
What is it which keeps SCP
connection in open state even after file gets copied. Why its not closing the channel?
