Unable to scp to my server running cygwin
Description
I have a Windows 2003 server with Cygwin 2.510.2.2.
scp works fine when I run the command on the scp server.
see correction below:
scp works fine when I run the command on the cygwin server.
When I run scp on a linux machine using cygwin as the destination, the
session
locks up:
-bash-2.05b$ scp -p "test1.txt" ITG_user <at> 10.232.248.5:D:/junk/test1.txt
ITG_user <at> 10.232.248.5's password:
bash: no job control in this shell
ITG_user <at> drwlsw17 ~
$ /bin/ls #(here is where it locks up. I tried /bin/ls, then ^c)
Killed by signal 2.
-bash-2.05b$
As you can see, the source does not have a dns entry for drwlsw17, so I used
IP
address.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
Ken
Here is a URL to my cygcheck.out file:

Please use POSIX paths (i.e. /cygdrive/d/junk/test1.txt).
It appears you're getting an old version of bash when you login via scp. It's
not obvious from your cygcheck output where that's coming from but you may
want to check where '/etc/passwd' has set your home directory and if you can
get there with a simple ssh to that machine (since your home directory is
clearly a network drive, possibly with restrictive permissions that could
also be causing you problems). Making sure that you see the current
Cygwin environment that you installed and deleting any left-over old tools
will likely help allot.
