scp not working

lord-fu · 07-31-2007, 09:20 AM

Hello and mtia,

Hi I can consistently ssh into another machine, however when I try to scp it just sits there. The machine which I am trying to connect to is running in run level 3. Is there something that does not run at 3 that I need to have for scp? I have tried from a few differnt machines now with no_difference, so I have ruled out the client. The machine in question is a FC6 box.

I issue the scp command like so just in case it is a syntax error (although this works with other boxes).

Code:

scp -rf user@ip:/path/to/here /put/here

Thanks again for any help.

Hi,

The syntax used is not correct, -f is not a scp option (it is a ssh option).

Hope this helps.

druuna you are correct, remove the "f" and it worked. Thank you.
