scp command changing csv delimiter












0














I have csv file created at a location everyday with a delimiter þ.

I have an automated job which needs to transfer this to another linux machine.



The automated job(running as root user) while accessing and dropping the file, changes all delimiters in the file to ?



There is another user 'app' who only has access to drop the file, thus the command as below.



I'm using jcraft session with below command.



scp -v -r abc.csv app@targetIP:/xyzlocation


Can anyone please tell me what am I doing wrong?



If I run the same job logged in as 'app' this issue doesn't happen. Only when job running as root user has this issue.

  • The scp program normally copies files verbatim. If you're seeing '?' characters, that indicates an issue with the character set that you're using to view the file. Chances are that the file is being copied properly, but whatever you're using to view or parse the file can't handle the delimiter character.

  • The scp program normally copies files verbatim. If you're seeing '?' characters, that indicates an issue with the character set that you're using to view the file. Chances are that the file is being copied properly, but whatever you're using to view or parse the file can't handle the delimiter character.
