>Your DNS is setup wrong. Too vague. >Try setting "UseDNS no" on the server in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. That solved the slowness, thanks. I tried -HUP ing the sshd processes but that didn't solve it at once (it only killed my connections fo course); reboting the machine did, now it logs in fast. Is there another way that doesn't involve rebooting or did i do something wrong?
>What happens if you use a target path >scp -vr ~/folder/folder/ 192.168.2.80:/path/path You mean an absolute path? Like /home/user/folder or something? No effect, same results (i.e. no transfer is done). I tried both in the source and in the destination. >What does your UseDNS line look like? It was comented out, now is "UseDNS no" according to Michael Lechtermann's suggestion. > check if you can execute the scp binary on both machines As i said, i can. > some checks on permisssions on both hosts Everything's normal. > try to see if the subsystem sftp-server is enable on the ssh server, It was, i comented it out. I've installed and tried to configure vsftpd without success but it's not running (neither by default). These are both local machines, why would DNS be required? I added the IP adress to the /etc/hosts file but i'm not sure if i did it right and i'm using DHCP so that wouldn't be a permanent solution. I'm probably missing something really simple... -- Nuno MagalhC#es
