scp

[navin]

Hello all,
I'm trying to do scp(passwd less) transsfer between two systems sucessfully.
My questios are i'm trying to scopy a file as user test to host2 from host1 .But the copied files are still having the ownership of user test. I want to have the file owned by the parent directory of the target server.If i do scp with passwd it works fine
ex: host1:testuser>scp file1 host2:/test1
passwd
.....................................
but it will not work if i set up as passwd less .
in other words...i would like to how can i make the below thing work with out the passwd prompt

host1:testuser> scp file1 testuser2@host2:/app

and the copied file should have ownership of the parent directory /app in host2
Please advice - much appreciated

hi,

seems like "passwd less" copy is using a user other than testuser2, hence the ownership is different.

can you post the output of ll for each case?


nb. you may also wish to use scp -p ...


revert!
kind regards
