Hi,
I'm trying to copy of bunch of files from debian over to windoze using scp -r.
This was working fine except for one error where it complains foo is
not a directory
and apparently I have foo and foo.exe in one dir but foo is a directory.

I think this replicates the problem. It seems that ".exe" is confused
with no extention.
Is this true and what can I do or am I just doing something really
stupid? Thanks.

$ mkdir acrap

$ echo > x1

mmarchywka@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive
$ echo > x1.exe

mmarchywka@phlulap01 /cygdrive/c/old/download/cdarchive
$ cp x1* acrap
cp: will not overwrite just-created `acrap/x1.exe' with `x1.exe'
