[Savannah-hackers] File upload problems for user "jay" and project "findutils".

[James Youngman]

I'm having problems uploading files to savannah.   


http://savannah.gnu.org/files/admin/index.php#list says :-

>    scp -vr /tmp/sv_upload/* address@hidden available*/download/findutils/
>    rm -rf /tmp/sv_upload


However, the result of the scp command is :-

address@hidden:/tmp/sv_upload$ scp -vr /tmp/sv_upload/* 
address@hidden:/download/findutils/

Noting the remarks on the web page about protocol version 1, I use the -1 
option :-

Reading the above message, I retry with sftp :-

255

The above commands with "nongnu" changed to "gnu" have similar
effects.  So, I'm at a loss to know what to do.  What I really need to
do at this stage is upload some alpha tarballs.  They could go to
either alpha.gnu.org or to the Savannah filelist.  I don't mind.

What should I do?
Thanks in advance, 

James.
