Could you clarify a bit? If you want to run SCP as root, then you can use sudo. If you want the file to end up on the remote machine as created by root, then you can do:

Code:

scp root@server

There's no way to do that, exactly.

Running sudo will give you root permissions locally. Alternately, you can login as root on the remote system. E.g.:

Code:

sudo scp user@remote:/some/file .

or

Code:

scp root@remote:/some/file .

the problem is ,i want to scp one file to not root user say user123.

scp xyz.c user123@12.0.0.1:/home/user123/svn/xyz/

it leads to Permission denied

any possible solution to override this.
