Hi
My Question is I have installed the ssh key authentication in Server A. User can connect this using key file via SSH. without authentication user can't connect this system via SSH. Now I am trying to copy the file from Server B through SCP command. But it is not working. While I am trying use this command from Server B I am getting below error "ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection timed out lost connection".
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is Server A. SSH is enabled in both server A,B.

Please let me know why SCP command is not working?


Thanks
Mohamed

Hi there,

Can you please let us know what syntax you are using for scp?

scp -vrp /root/filename root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/root/

Where,

The first one is the source path and the path after root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ is the destination path (on remote server) where you want to copy the file.

Also it will be good if you can check if your iptables rule if they are allowing SSH connection on the destination server. If possible give a try to iptables -F, this will flush iptables rules though.

You can also try adding the following line in iptables file:


iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Just out of curiosity which OS are you using.
