Re: ssh/scp + .bashrc problem

Are you sure scp reads .bashrc? I read the manpage of scp and there's nothing in it about .bashrc. It seems strange to me that scp would read the file, since scp justs securely copies a file, it doesn't open a shell.

I'm not sure what exactly read the scp, but when I remove that line (fortune one) I have no problem at all

Re: ssh/scp + .bashrc problem

Show me your scp command line? I suppose this is possible, but odd.

I'll put both bashrc and scp command

.basrc

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias ll='ls -lh'
alias la='ls -a'
alias H='history | grep'
alias v='netstat -pan |grep LIST | grep ^tcp'
alias vv='netstat -pan |grep STABL'
amixer set Master 100 unmute > /dev/null
amixer set PCM 100 unmute > /dev/null
#PS1='[u@h W]$ '
#PS1='[`date +'%H:%M'`][[33[01;31m]u[33[00m]@h W]$ '
PS1='[`date +'%H:%M'`][[33[01;31m]u[33[37m]@[33[01;34m]h[33[32m] w[33[00m]]$ '

fortune -s | cowsay -f tux      #remove if scp problem

scp command

scp -r machine.homelinux.home:/root/Docs/Fondos/ fondos/

Re: ssh/scp + .bashrc problem

Hello,

I have had this in the past.  On one system I was unable to scp with id files because the text returned upon login screws up the login somehow.  This is really a problem with winscp right now.  scp does read the default shell login.  Just put a condition around the offending line and then it woint try to display the fortune for a scp session.

if ($?prompt) then
  fortune -s | cowsay -f tux
endif

..or maybe:

 if [ "$PS1" ]; then
 fortune -s | cowsay -f tux
fi
