When stating: scp -p -r 192.168.1.100:/dirfrom 192.168.1.2:/dirto I get the following: Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). lost connection With some help at this thread: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=8431#post8431 I think the issue is with treatment of the computer name or IP address of the functioning computer being a local machine. By functioning computer, I mean the computer which is executing the program. If the above command is issued from a machine with an IP address as 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.100 followed with ":dirname" then the scp will fail. If only "dirname" is entered for the functioning computer then scp works. Note that I am not copying between two remote machines, only one.
I don't follow what you're trying to do. Are you trying to copy into a directory named "192.168.1.2:" ?
I think what he's trying (perhaps inadvertantly?) is to copy between two machines. I took a spin through the linked reading material on Fedora's support forums (I'm REALLY bored tonight). scp host1:/foo host2:/foo2 is functionally equivalent to ssh host1 "scp /foo host2:/foo". That will work if you're using keying or kerberos, but not regular interactive password.
No reply == closed bug. If you're trying to copy to or from a local filesystem use either of: $ scp /local/path/to/file remotehost:/remote/path or $ scp remotehost:/remote/path /local/path/to/file If that's not what you're trying to do them please elaborate.
Change all RESOLVED bug to CLOSED with the exception of the ones fixed post-4.4.
