I am not able to transfer files between 2 linux servers with scp command. The command given was like

scp <file_name> <2nd machine>

ath

This was working earlier but today the files are not transferring.

I hope, I have been able to explain the problem.

Requesting a reply to my query.

You haven't even come CLOSE to explaining the problem. "It used to work, it doesn't now". No description of error messages or anything useful whatsoever.

Try:

Code:

man scp

and take a look at option -v

Thanks for your answer. The transfer from /tmp of 1 server to /tmp of the 2nd server was not happening that day. At a later date, even /tmp to /tmp was happening. -v option gives a lot of things which are not easy to interpret.

We still don't know your commands used or errors given.

By itself "working earlier -- not transferring" makes me think firewall or network down.
If you don't know how to interpret the -v output feel free to post it (removing confidential info as needed)

Was this from server1 to server2 as well? If it started working again I'd suspect a firewall config or (more likely) some bad connection (broken wifi/lan/etc) somewhere.

give us the -v output

Thanks for your answer. The transfer is happening now, so I would not be able to simulate the problem with -v option.
