Problem is, SCP asks for the password via opening the tty directly in raw form. It's not getting it from STDIN. It does this for a couple of different reasons, which I won't go over here. A workaround for this is to use KEYS for authentication and that way it won't ask for a password at all, but use keys (dsa, rsa, etc...) for authentication.

Remember, Java doesn't really allow you to work closely with memory. What memcpy() essentially does is accepts two pointers to memory addresses and then copies memory starting from address b, over to an area starting at address a. Since Java is so high level, there isn't a way to manipulate memory like this. Hence why pointers in C are so powerful and yet, also become such a problem to people who really don't know what they are.

char, not Char. Watch the case on the c.

This works just fine.

I'm just not necessarily a beginner... I know basic Java pretty well. I need something that maybe goes over the libraries with examples of how to use them (that would be nice, but I can't seem to find any good ones), Also, something that goes over OO a bit so I can brush up on it. I've been doing a lot of PHP 5 programming along with C, so I'm fairly comfortable with OO, but since Java is nothing but objects, I just want to read more in to it to bring myself more into Java. So, beginner books like "Head First Java" and such aren't really what I need... Or maybe I do and I'm just arogant. I actually own "Head First Java" and Sun's "Core Servlets and JSP" which my previous employer bought me... "Thinking in Java" looks nice, but I just hate books that are over 1000 pages... I know Java is a big language with all the API to cover and such, but I still think there has to be a "diet book" on Java for experienced programmers.

How about Core Java Volume 1 & 2? Are these worth while?

I think a reference would be good too. However, while I think I have a good grasp of OO, I'd like some good examples of good OO programming as well as good descriptions of why it's good so I can get it down pat.

Ok, I learned a good bit about java a couple of years back. However, I was primarily a C developer and didn't use Java all that much and eventually left it all together. Lately, I've been laid off and looking for a new job. I'm sick of doing C development! Plus, there are A LOT more jobs in Java, it seems.

What I'm looking for is a book that is good for people that already have a lot of experience with general programming. I don't really need to understand things like flow control and such. Maybe some basic skimming to see if Java handles it differently than others, etc... Basically, I don't want a 1000 page book with 500 of the pages giving detailed info on if/else, for, while, etc... I really need more on understanding objects and the java API along with understanding JDBC, File I/O and Swing even... I remember the basics of java... I can write a small console program with ease. So, does anyone know a book that might cater to me?
