Hi folks,

F-7 (router IP add:192.168.0.11)
Ubuntu desktop 7.04 (router IP add: 192.168.0.12)
scp
ssh

I need to transfer files between the above PCs. But the traffic is one way.

Ubuntu desktop 7.04
$ scp test.txt satimis@192.168.0.11:/path/to/dir

Code:

The authenticity of host '192.168.0.11 (192.168.0.11)' can't be established.

RSA key fingerprint is 73:01:8f:8b:ba:9d:b0:c0:8b:f2:36:e3:47:a6:0e:9e.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Warning: Permanently added '192.168.0.11' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

satimis@192.168.0.11's password: 

test.txt                                      100%  18    0.0KB/s  00:00

File transferred.

F-7
$ scp test-1.txt satimis@192.168.0.12:/path/to/dir

Code:

ssh: connect to host port 22: Connection refused

lost connection

# cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config | grep Port

Code:

Port 22

Port 22 already uncommented.

Please help. TIA

unrelated to networking. moved to linux - general.

Possible firewall? Lack of a active server?

Hi SciYro,

Lack of a active server - Correct.

I forgot Ubuntu is a deskop box without openssh-server installed.

I solved my problem as follow;

On Ubuntu box ran;
$ sudo apt-get install openssl-server

On F-7 box;
$ scp file.tar.bz2 satimis@192.168.0.12:/path/to/dir

Code:

The authenticity of host '192.168.0.12 (192.168.0.12)' can't be established.

RSA key fingerprint is 9a:ca:e7:03:ac:9f:5c:53:ef:32:ba:17:1b:8f:67:31.

Hi,

sshd isn't running on 192.168.0.12 or it's firewalled.

Try:

netstat -plant | grep 22

from 192.168.0.12, if you see 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3580/sshd or similar, it's probably firewalled - check your iptables rules.

If you get no output from the above netstat command, you need to start the sshd server on 192.168.0.12

whoops! Just saw that you solved it, sorry! :)
