hi,
I am successfully running following command from command prompt
$ scp oracle@172.16.0.11:/back/crmemo.csv /sales/
but when i am running the same command from a script it copying '?' in sales (destination) folder.
Following is the script
#!/bin/sh
scp oracle@172.16.0.11:/back/crmemo.csv /sales/
echo "copied"
#
Please help me to resolve the issue 
Try with no trailing slash?
Seems like an ssh bug. ssh2 is free and more secure.
Is the target a sym link? You can try "/sales/.".
(Also,use the -d scp option =target-must-be-dir and check $? and report problems!)
I tried without trailing slash but still the same problem... get copied '?' instead of actual file...
Do you get '?' as directory entry /sales/?, or file content /sales/crmemo.csv containing '?' ? Give us a tighter handle:
ls -ld /sales/*
od -bc /sales/crmemo.csv
On executing the command
[oracle@erp sales]$ ls -ld /sales/*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle oracle 166710 Nov 15 08:54 /sales/?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If i run the same command from command prompt it copies the file successfully
On running same command from script I am getting following message but in sales folder i am getting '?'
crmemo.csv 100% 163KB 162.8KB/s 00:00

Try using this command ie; give(./sales) it may save in the current directory
not working.... still waiting for some solution
How about fn to fn:
scp oracle@172.16.0.11:/back/crmemo.csv /sales/crmemo.csv
or turn on verbose and quote the args for stability:
scp -v 'oracle@172.16.0.11:/back/crmemo.csv' '/sales'
Finally, what revision of ssh?
ssh -V
output of script with -v scp...

I see from your post that you are running the scp command as non-root and script as root.
What happens if you run the script as non-root?
I am running every thing from non root because i don't have root's password...
What happens to the file name if you copy to another directory such as /tmp?
could you post the current result of ?
cat make_copy.sh
by the way :
debug1: Sending command: scp -v -f /back/crmemo.csv
On which OS are you ? what does the -f option do ?
you should specify source and destination, i only see the sourcefile, but not the target location ...
nops, i tried to copy the file on root but same problem... getting file name as '?' but i opened the file ($ vi ?) it shows the contents of original file.
This mean i am successfully copying the file but problem is with name ....
Did you try with a specific target entryname?
It sounds like a bug in the receiving sshd. Have you checked for revisions there?
