[root@linux3-hkg ~]# scp -P ***** httpd-HK-15-09-2010-tar.gz peritustec@***.**.***.*:
ssh: connect to host ***.**.***.* port *****: Connection timed out
lost connection

did you forget to put a destination? Add a tild at the end of the command for home dir.

you could use the '-vvv' for verbose to get more information on the problem or try the same with rsync.

Do you get a prompt? Can you ssh the host? We need a bit more info.

Is there any firewall between server and client? Allow port in firewall and if you are using port forwarding check policy of that.

Are you able to access server via ssh?

Regards,

Hi,
i can ping that ip,ssh.
and i give the destination also but it show the same error.

How can i check -vvv?

ok check -vvv option as suggested by eco

it will display debug inso on terminal. look that debug info to find out cause and if it possible post here.

Regards,

Hi,
This is what i am getting......

[root@localhost ~]# scp -vvv -P ***** httpd-JP-15-09-2010-tar.gz peritustec@***.**.***.*:~

[root@localhost ~]#

It seems to firewall/NAT problem.
Are your server in same network of are you access sever via internet? check port forwarding or allow port/network policy on firewall if is there any firewall/NAT device.
