7.7 Compiling Torque to Support SCP

In Torque 2.1 and later, SCP is the default remote copy protocol. These instructions are only necessary for earlier versions.

Torque must be re-configured (and then rebuilt) to use SCP by passing in the --with-scp flag to the configure script:

> ./configure --prefix=xxx --with-scp

> make

If special SCP flags are required in your local setup, these can be specified using the $rcpcmd parameter.
