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?

[atul2701]

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.

Hi VINAY,

this is purely permission issue in destination side, Kindly check the ownership & permission of the destination folder.

From source point of view atleast you should have read access to copy to destination.

Thanks

thanks a lot Atul and Anish

hi

Change the permission of tcb dir on remote server & try.

chmod 777 /tmp/tcb.

Check the receive side file /opt/ssh/etc/ssh_config and look for entry PermitRootLogin. Make sure it is yes.

[stephen peng]

check for /opt/ssh/etc/ssh_config and see whether root login was permit for 142.117.84.97. would ssh 142.117.84.97 success?

Hi Trinle

In /opt/ssh/etc.ssh_config - There is no such entery "Permitrootlogom "

It should be file sshd_config instead of ssh_config.

[Aneesh Mohan]

Hi,

execute the below command.

cat /etc/opt/ssh/sshd_config |grep "^PermitRootLogin"

it should list o/p "PermitRootLogin yes"

if you didn`t get the aobe o/p please do the below steps and try the scp data transfer.

echo "PermitRootLogin yes" >> /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config

/sbin/init.d/secsh stop;/sbin/init.d/secsh start

Hi,

Try with other user name.

Hi Anesh

I got the output for you command

(root)>cat /etc/opt/ssh/sshd_config | grep "PermitRootLogin"
PermitRootLogin no
# "PermitRootLogin without-password". If you just want the PAM account and


Thanks

Although from a security stand point, this is certainly not advisable;

1) vi /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config

2) set PermitRootLogin yes

3) save

4) bounce ssh (optional)

should solve your problem.
