Hi James

I'm getting "permission denied" after it successfully asks for password on
remote system.

This is odd, because the remove user has full permissions on that directory.
And the person can SSH into the box without an issue. But when they run this
command:

$ scp /home/tclark/* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/backup/tclark

Then it prompts for password, like so:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: 


User types in password and then gets "(permission denied)".

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.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Anne

It just does ... right out of the box.

You certainly should not need to be root to run scp.

Please post details of the problem you're seeing -- the commands you're
typing and the error messages you see.  (If it's "Connection refused," then
the problem is that the peer system isn't actually configured for ssh.  It
needs to be if you want to use scp.)
