Title
Error scp'ing a file with Quest ssh -
Description
Error message like the following occur when running scp, even though the file copies correctly
./filname.zip: truncate: Operation not supported
-
Cause
The "truncate" operation is not supported on some filesystems, notably flash-based ones and possibly hgfs.
-
Resolution
The message is harmless since it happens after the file copy has occurred. However, it can be avoided by scp'ing to a regular filesystem.
