scp does not work properly

[Jeff Douglass]

Sounds like a problem with your shell on the remote host.
The stty command should only be executed when logging in
as opposed to running remote commands. The syntax to do
this depends on the shell used. Commenting out the stty
command as a test should provide verification of this.

Hi Juergen,

I suffered under a similar problem and found a solution :-)
scp seems to restart itself, therefore it has to be in the path.
My personal problem was that I have installed V1 and V2 parallel
and scp was a link to scp2, I just changed the link to scp1 and
everything works fine. Removing the links destroys it.
