scp missing in my Fedora12 server


Hi Friends. I hope this question isn't too dopey.

I installed Fedora 12, and scp wasn't installed by default. Is that weird? Whatever install DVD I got had very few options in the install process, it was really straightforward and frill-less install, yay. but a lot of the commands I took for granted were missing. Is there a yum-able package that contains scp? a yum list scp yields nothin.

I have already done:
find / -name "*scp*"
just to be sure it wasn't outside of my $PATH.

Thanks in advance!

Robb

scp (& sftp) are built-in tools of the ssh & sshd pkgs. If you've got that, you've got the other 2

Hey Chris, thanks for the reply! I was actually just coming back to post what I did for other lost souls.

// What I could have done:

yum install openssh



// What I did: (compile from source)

// went to http://www.openssh.com and clicked my way to a download mirror, found the url for the current release.tar.gz
cd /usr/src
mkdir openssh
cd openssh
wget http://mirror.planetunix.net/pub/Ope...h-5.3p1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf {the downloaded file).tar.gz
cd {the folder that came out of the zip}
./configure [i didn't add any options cuz over my head, i figure default will do]
make && make install
