    As far as process return values:

    Code:
    0  == EXIT_SUCCESS
    
    !0 == EXIT_FAILURE
    Same across windows and nix.

    This lets you return a range of failure values.

    The source for pscp is available online. If you look in SCP.c you will find at the bottom of the main() function:
    Code:
        return (errs == 0 ? 0 : 1);
    P.S If you've spent a couple of days trying to figure out this "error", please check below before you chuck your monitor out the window.
