Dear all, I am expieriencing a strange problem when using the secure copy command 'scp'. I use the following command: ~> scp -rp 10.3.10.8:/home/uleopold/ . The directory to copy has a size of 14GB. The starnge things is that it does not stop copying when all files have been transfered but it starts again and hence the directory on the new host grows constantly. Once I ended up with a size of 61GB instead of 14GB. I tried to start scp from both machines and transferred it always to the same machine. I do not know how this can happen. I also tried a smaller single directory. For that on eit worked without any problems. It seems as iff it followed a link and is following this link infinitely. ut I do not have any link in the home directory. Any idea what is happening? Cheers, Ulrich
