Hi,
to consolidate all my various code repositories into one area
I wanted to use "aliases"

The idea being:
scp -pr root@8.8.8.8:/somed/nested /Users/comp01/Downloads/usedonserver01/

where downloads might contain:
/Downloads/usedonserver01/
/Downloads/usedonserver02/

The aliases pointing to actual storage folders
but i find that SCP flatly refuses to work with apple alias folders. replace the alias and it works fine

/Users/comp01/Downloads/usedonserver/: Not a directory

What is your question? Are you talking about Finder aliases? They are what they are - Finder aliases. They are features of the Finder and nothing else works with them except for the Finder. You can create symbolic links instead.
