    Hello,

    I have a script that copies data and on successful copying it burns the
    data.
    My return value check looks like this:

    if ( ! scp <options> )
    then
        ...
        exit 1
    fi

    But unfortunately it returns everything ok when the connection fails and
    no data was copied.
    I use scp that comes with this version:
    OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1.woody.3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL
    0x0090603f

    How can I check whether the connection was established and all the data
    were successful copied?

    Thank you for your efforts!
