Any plans to improve scp so it can copy files larger than 2^31 bytes? For those that haven't tried it, scp dies with "lost connection" almost immediately after authenticating. (I'm guessing it's seeing the file size as a negative number and getting confused.) It would make a disk-to-disk backup solution I'm working on much easier. With scp not able to do this easily, I'm not sure what I can use as a quick replacement - maybe dump/restore to stdout run over an ssh pipeline, or maybe rdist. I've run tar over an ssh pipeline, but tar doesn't like files over 2^31 bytes either... This is OpenSSH on 4.1-RELEASE, btw.
