Hello all,
I've recently encountered this problem in a few places, and was wondering
if anyone had some insight or could tell me where to look for the solution.
scp doesn't like me. Here are a couple example scenarios involving my
personal RH7.3 box and another host. For simplicity, we'll call mine "mine"
and the other "his."
Example 1: his runs RH8.0, or possibly FC1 (I helped him upgrade, but I
forget whether this scenario occurred before or after the upgrade). I am
physically at his.
his% scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/some_file_that_exists .
Password: ********
/etc/bashrc processed # <-- that is an echo in my /etc/bashrc, put in to
help troubleshoot
some odd environment issues
his% _
(nothing happens--the file is not transferred...so I try:)
his% ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: ********
/etc/profile processed # <-- also have this for the same reason as
mentioned above
/etc/bashrc processed # <-- as mentioned above
A fortune (in my ~/.bashrc)
the uptime (likewise)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] scp some_file_that_exists [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: ********
[EMAIL PROTECTED] _
(still nothing happens; the file is not transferred.. so I give up on scp
and put the file in my public_html directory and get it that way)
Example 2: his runs FC1. I am physically at mine, ssh'd into his.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/some_file_that_exists .
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: ********
/etc/bashrc processed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] _
(nothing--no transfer occurs, so I try on mine:)
mine% scp some_file_that_exists [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: ********
some_file_that_exists 100% |*****************************| 38980
00:00
mine% _
(and it works, but only when initiated from mine, as shown)
What causes this? I tried an scp -v, and there's a ton of output, very
little of which indicates the problem that is actually occurring. In fact,
comparing that to the same -v output of a successful transfer (the second
half of Example 2) only confuses me further, as it seems that the debug
output is the same..
Could it be the output from /etc/bashrc is somehow confusing the process?
Thanks in advance.
