I had added the program "fortune" to my .bachrc file. Once I removed it works fine. Thanks, Jim!

My guess is that something in your shell is causing your issue. Check out: is your shell clean <http://www.samba.org/rsync/FAQ.html> ....A good way to test if your remote-shell connection is clean is to try something like this (use ssh or rsh, as appropriate):ssh remotesystem /bin/true > test.datThat should create a file called test.dat with nothing in it. If test.dat is not of zero length then your shell is not clean. Look at the contents of test.dat to see what was sent. Look at all the startup files on remotesystem to try and find the problem..... -jim Jim WillekeOn Sat, Oct 30, 2010 at 8:14 PM, Mike Goracke <mgoracke@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:mgoracke@xxxxxxxxxx>> wrote:Not sure what's happening here...

I can log on to my machines via ssh but when I try to copy folders from one machine to another using "scp -r", I just get some strange output lines. I'm using " scp -r Pictures syd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:/home/syd <mailto:syd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:/home/syd> " and it doesn't seem to work anymore. I have ssh and openssh-server installed on all machines. I have also gone into .ssh and removed the known_hosts file thinking maybe it was corrupt or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
