In the sense of making it work by applying creative thinking to the problem. ;) > > > One of our clients has an ssh.com daemon and toolchain (scp/sftp) > > installed on their box, and we have to scp our work to the machine. > > Their machine AFAIK also has the OpenSSH client > > toolchain, installed as .old (scp.old, ssh.old). ssh-ing from the client > > machine to our machines is ok; the reverse is ok as well.

AFAIK, this has *nothing* to do with whether or not you can scp. I have been able to scp to a box which has a .profile that calls fortune, and it still works. As mentioned in the link I posted with my first email, the difficulty/problem lies with the fact that the OpenSSH scp and SSH.com scp talk using different protocols (mentioned near the bottom of the page). > > if your shell *is* clean, then yeah, you'll have to find a workaround. > one thing to check, does your client say *they* can scp to their > own box? if yes, then the problem is probably in your setup. if > no, then (just guessing here) maybe they disabled scp? can you > use sftp? They have not disabled scp. Yes, they can scp to and from the box. No, there isn't a problem with my setup (as I've been using it to scp to and from other boxes.) See link mentioned in my first post.
