Does file /tmp/tcb exist? If it is, then what is the ownership and mode of the file.

And if /tmp/tcb is a directory, then what is its ownership and mode?

Pls provide the output of ls -ld /tmp/tcb command on 142.117.84.97.

Hi,

While doing scp you need to mention username also

it should look like

scp -p TDPO.tdp_dm3cys_prod root@142.117.84.97
:/tmp/tcb

then it will ask do you want connect if your connecting first time type yes
then provide root password of 142.117.84.97

chanderdasa's command is correct. but it is limited to copy only files.
Is there any command to copy directories aslo

thanks

[atul2701]

yes you can.

Use scp -r to copy a dir Recursively.

Hi,

>> but it is limited to copy only files.Is there any command to copy directories aslo

use "-r" option along with scp

>>"Permission denied, please try again

It seems like your PermitRootLogin is set to no in /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config or ssh key is not working.
