why don't you post your ssh command and your scp command. The only thing I can think of that you might be doing is using a port besides 22. in which case the port switch is different for scp -P instead of -p or something like that.

posted ssh command here

hello thanks for ur reply....
here I am having server 192.168.0.111 and client 192.168.0.2.... Now i want to copy file "/root/example.txt" from server to client and for that i am giving command from client "scp 192.168.0.111:/root/example.com /setup " So is this command wrong?????? because after firing command it shows messege "no route to host" but I am able to do ssh succesefully from client to server with command "ssh root@192.168.0.111" So what would be the problem......


Thanks for ur valuable time..............

Do you use scp before ssh? Try login at first and scp then.

Can you use an account besides root? I'm wondering if there is some security setting someplace getting in the way. Yes, I know you can ssh in as root (a bad idea by the way) but scp may be tripping over something else.

You should try
scp /root/example.com root@192.168.0.2:/setup
rather than
scp /root/example.com 192.168.0.2:/setup
Hope it helps

I think that cguilbot is correct. The problem is in the use of scp command, not on the hosts themselves.
The "rule" is scp sourceath_to_file destination, so in you case it would be :
root@192.168.0.111:example.txt /home/<your_home_directory>/path_to_sub-dir/example.txt
Now, typically, root is not allowed to log in "over the wire" for obvious security reasons, so you may want to use a regular user for this log in or add the regular user to the sudoes file if the worst comes to worst.

Hope this helps.

Rick
