SCP error


I recently changed internal IP addresses on both an HP-UX computer (now 192.168.0.101) and a RedHat Linux machine (192.168.0.3). Prior to this I could SSH & SCP back and forth between both machines with no problems. Now I can SSH and SCP from the Linux machine to the HPUX machine, but when I try to SCP a file from the HPUX machine to the Linux machine, the only thing I see on after hitting Return is "Linux 32bit", but the file will not transfer. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Greetingz!

First, check your logs (linux:/var/log/messages, HP-UX: whereever you point syslog to dump to). Second, make sure you can SSH Linux -> HP-UX and HP-UX -> Linux.

If nothing obvious pops up, check the sshd_config file and make sure the IP address in there (if specified) matches what the host has set now.

Still broke? Check/dump the .ssh/known_hosts file on each system, then re-ssh back into each of them from each other.

EDIT: If this (or any other) post helps you out, hit "Yes" to the question on the bottom right-hand corner of each post.
If your problem's been solved, use "Thread Tools" at the top of the page to mark this as [SOLVED].

SCP - Still working on problem

xeleema,

Still not working. Ican indeed SSH to each machine from the other and I can SCP a file from the Linux machine to the HPUX. Nothing caught my attention in either of the log files (which may not mean much given my level of understanding). No IP addresses are listed in the sshd_config files and I tried removing the known_hosts files and starting over, but that did not work either. This is very strange considering SCP has been working on both machines for sveral years prior to this change. Thanks again for your help.

Is there any default in HP-UX defined in /etc/ssh/ssh_config or your personal $HOME/.ssh/config (I don't know the exact location of it on HP-UX though)? Maybe it was defined for the old TCP/IP address and is not working any longer as you changed the target address. Or the deamon on Linux is not accepting the session.

What is the output when you start scp with -vvv (triple times) in verbose mode?

Okay....well for grins,

1) stop and start (not "restart", actually kill all instances) SSHd on both systems.
NOTE: You might want to make sure you have console access first.

2) Now remove the ~/.ssh directory for your account on both systems (maybe tar it up if you have config information in there)

3) Check the sshd_config and ssh_config for each system.
Get to the "guts" by doing this for each file on each system;
Code:
grep -v "^#" /path/to/sshd_config | grep . | sort
Still nothing out-of-the-ordinary?

Then you're going to have to find out what information is hitting your logs. Suggestion would be to restart the SSHd service with the "verbose" flag, or when you ssh, use "ssh -v username@hostname"

HOWTO: Be Verbose During SSH

On the Linux Box
Open two terminal windows;
Window #1 "tail -f /var/log/messages"
Window #2 This will be your "SSH" terminal.

On the HP-UX Box
Open two terminal windows;
Window #1 "tail -f /where/your/syslog/logs/stuff"
Window #1 This will be your "SSH" terminal.

Okay, SSH from Linux to HP-UX.
