--- Comment #1 from Harald Koenig
I suspect that the host is generating EISDIR (cygwin generates that for a local copy like that). As such, I wouldn't think it's wise for sshd to put special handling in there for this case.
indeed, you're right: harald > cp /etc/passwd foo/ cp: cannot create regular file `foo/': Is a directory harald > strace -e open cp /etc/passwd foo/ [...] open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("foo/", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644) = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory) cp: cannot create regular file `foo/': Is a directory :-( still I find the EISDIR quite confusing in this case... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
