Tru64 5.1a / SSH 3.9 fails with error

[Francesca Watts]

I'm using Open scp to send files over but its returning with a memory allocation error.

/usr/local/bin/scp -C /data2/doc1/print_out/reprint/*.EHEAD vodaie@10.163.150.30://home/vodaie/incoming
VOD.NOCOA.001.G8030.EHEAD 54% 11MB 2.6MB/s 00:03
ETAbuffer_append_space: alloc 10514432 not supported lost connection

Unsure with this is OS resource related or otherwise. Looked around on the internet and CERT sites but cant find any reference to it !

Any ideas ?

Hi Francesca,

Sorry for the late reply.

There is a known incompatility issue between
the scp available with Tru64 and the Open scp, but I couldn't find any documenation from either OpenSSH or Tru64 that describes it.

In looking through the documentation, I did
note that for OpenSSH, the -C flag for scp passes the -C flag to ssh to enable compression. Where as for Tru64 the -C option doesn't exist for scp, and for ssh the -C option disables compression.

Hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any additional questions.
