[Bug 982] scp doesn't work with password authentication when copying from remote to remote
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=982

Summary: scp doesn't work with password authentication when
copying from remote to remote
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 3.9p1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: scp
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: t8m@centrum.cz


This happens when copying from my1.box to my2.box:

scp root@my1.box:/etc/motd root@my2.box:/tmp/foo
Asks password for one side then displays
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).

The reason is that the ssh invoked on the first machine will have input
redirected from /dev/null and thus it cannot authenticate.

Proposed patch

This patch calls ssh with option to force tty allocation so it's possible to
enter the password.

Do you think it's correct?
