SCP Configuration

[Kalin Evtimov]

Hello!
I just noticed that scp-connection doesn't work any more on an HP-UX 11.23 IA64. SSH works. I wanted to check the user permissions , but I have no idea where does the config for scp live. Some patches were played yesterday and something changed, because this used to work before.

Can You help me (scp configuration)?

Thank you.

I am on serv00

$ scp oramm.depot.gz oracle@servus:/tmp
oracle@servus's password:
Permission denied, please try again.

what are the perms on servus:/tmp
Can you put file somewhere else? Or you get the error for every command irrespective of desination?

[Kalin Evtimov]

anyone can write in /tmp
but even if I take /home/oracle, i get the same error. And for all other locations too. Strange, because the authentification works.

ssh -D 3 source_file dest_nation

[Kalin Evtimov]

I am nut sure what I can achieve with -D? It is for port-forwarding. I get this

ssh: oramm.depot.gz: host nor service provided, or not known

Maybe I typed something wrong.

It just increases the debug level. I am trying to understand the debug messages.

Hi calin,

Just an idea,look if you have only one version of ssh, it's like scp is running an old version of ssh command.

Hope this helps
