Hi Folks
Have a situation where users within the same unix user group want to
upload files which have different owners, but whose owners are all in
the same group. The files all have group write access in permissions.
We want people to use SCP rather than FTP, but this would appear to be
problematic.

Is it possible to for this to happen? Without messing with the SSHD
(Solaris running as SSH V2) I just get an error whilst trying to scp a
local copy of a file that exists remotely and which is owned by a
different user (UID) even though I am in the same group and have group
write permission.

thanks in advance
