Today's near disaster was $ scp -v radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/robots.txt gyro.dreamhost.com/media* Executing: cp radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/robots.txt gyro.dreamhost.com/media* $ ll gyro.dreamhost.com/media* -rw-r--r-- 1 jidanni jidanni 275 2008-01-02 11:15 gyro.dreamhost.com/media* The man page says scp is for remote copying... perhaps it can catch lack of : by default... Hmmm, rsync does this too...
