Hi guys,

can ssh from host to guest ok; scp fails with

Code:

bash: scp: command not found
lost connection

host

Code:

>rpm -qa|grep ssh

libssh2-1.2.2-7.el6_2.3.x86_64
openssh-5.3p1-81.el6.x86_64
openssh-clients-5.3p1-81.el6.x86_64
openssh-server-5.3p1-81.el6.x86_64

guest

Code:

 rpm -qa|grep -i ssh
libssh2-1.2.2-7.el6_2.3.x86_64
openssh-5.3p1-81.el6.x86_64
openssh-server-5.3p1-81.el6.x86_64

Surely only the client (host) needs client tools.

No,you need to install the clients on he other server too as it calls the scp binary from sshd

Hmmm, sounds odd....
Problem is they are both built from same iso, should be identical, and I can't scp scp-client to guest ...

You are missing the clients rpm on the guest, that is the problem...
