I use scp to copy data from one machine to other. Even if I use "-p" option to preserve the ownership of files its getting changed to the userID which I use for scp. How should I over come this.
-p only preserves timestamps and permissions, not the file ownership. You might try using something like rsync with a user that has appropriate access privelages.
