There's no message I know of that looks exactly like that. We have this one: Permission denied (gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,publickey,keyboard-interactive). lost connection ... which means that the user name or password are wrong and this one: scp: /foobar: Permission denied ... which means that the user doesn't have permission to write to the remote directory, and then this one: /etc/inet/secret/foo: Permission denied ... which means that the local user is unable to read the file being transferred. Can you clarify *exactly* what message you see? > Doesn't make sense to me as the password is definitely correct and the it's > the users own home directory of which he has full permission to on both > machines.
