similar to: quicky about return code of scp?

I've just upgraded to 2.1.0p2 on my solaris 8 boxes (now it survives a little longer, thanks!). But, I'm seeing "scp not found" where before it was fine. configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-random-/dev/random (the entropy generator is still broken), and in the past I had no problems with scp, but AFAIK something's broken in 2.1.0. Is anyone else seeing anything similar?

I'm writing a network monitoring script, that has to traverse a bunch of firewalls (joy ...) and so for connectivity tests, I'm using ssh (OpenSSH 2.x). I'm being lazy, and trying to avoid parallel tasks/threading, so I'm interested in reducing the amount of time OpenSSH will wait to connect to something before giving up. I've already set the ConnectionAttempts flag to 1,

Thanks to Richard June, John Horne and Bosko Radivojevic, who pointed out that I probably need to set the configure-time option --with-default-path, so I did this (rather than make symlink messes, which I'd prefer to avoid) : 1489 ./configure --with-default-path=/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/local/bin --prefix=/opt/local --with-random=/dev/random 1490 make 1491 make install 1492 pkill -TERM

I'm using OpenSSH's ssh and scp to back up some remote machines, roughly as follows : ssh remote-host "tar up a few dirs" scp remote-host:tarfile local-repository On the whole, as I'd expect, this works just fine. But .. sometimes the link is a bit dodgey (for lack of a more explicit term, this being a polite list :) ) Can anyone tell me how ssh and scp timeout and retry,

Hi, here's a proposal of a new ssh/scp-feature: ------------------------------------------------------- please implement a timeout with non-zero error-returncode on "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?" ------------------------------------------------------- My situation: recently I have implemented a cronjob that is using scp. Due to organizational

I'm seeing a linking problem with scp on Solaris 2.6 that I'm not seeing on Linux (Mandrake 8). It boils down to Solaris not having mkdtemp(), and the mkdtemp() compatibility function referencing arc4random(), which calls seed_rng(). Since that function is back in libssh.a, we get a function-not-found link error. I added -lssh after -lopenbsd_compat on scp's build rule (so it is

Hi there, I've written some enhancements to scp.c and pathnames.h to enable the scp to arbitrarily set the remote scp path. (eg $ scp -e /usr/bin/scp foo user at bar:foo) I did read the "scp: command not found" FAQ entry but I'm not quite sure why we can't do this, unless it's because enhancements to scp are no longer a priority. Any other reason why it "is the

Hi all, Please pardon me if this has been discussed already on this list. I searched on "destination" and did not find a hit. The problem I am trying solve is having backups on a remote server that even root cannot not read. I have seen lot's of specialized file systems and volume drivers for various operating systems. But being that all files are already scp'd to the

A while ago I saw some stuff about fixes for the problem with ssh2 and linux (which the FAQ on www.openssh.com is still mentioning but not offering any real solutions for). Is there any news on when/if these fixes will find their way into a release? OpenSSH 2.9p3 perhaps? :) Carl

Further to my original question about PAM on OpenBSD for OpenSSH, it may be non-trivial to get any PAM stuff onto OpenBSD (Thanks to Ben Lindstrom for his suggestion, which I'll try, using a gnu/loonucks PAM package, any suggestions for which one to use, or where to get it from? I'm not very clueful when it comes to GNU/linux). So, I remember in a past life hacking suport for other auth

This patch adds a readonly mode to scp and sftp_server. This allows clients to only read files from the server, but not to write them.

I'm finding another problem with OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 on RH 6.2 (at least, I think it's the linux box that is the problem). I'm ssh'ing to a RH 6.2 box from a Solaris 7 server (scp also... seems like the same problem). I'm using authorized_keys and identity.pub files to do it automagically, and all works well when it's from user to user, where the username is the same, but if

I've experienced some troubles using scp with remote files with spaces, amphersands or parantheses in their filenames on Linux hosts. This happens: stain at false:~$ scp "bender.linpro.no:blapp blapp" . scp: blapp: No such file or directory scp: blapp: No such file or directory stain at false:~$ scp "bender.linpro.no:blapp&blapp" . bash: blapp: command

Hi, I have made a patch which improves scp utility. It adds two new features: rate limit and resume support. With rate limit it's possible to limit transfer speed. Resume allows to continue file transfer where it was last interrupted. Also the progress meter was improved. Here is my patch, please send comments about it and what I can do better if there is something to fix. ---

I'm fond of the "-a" (archive) option of cp, and I'm a heavy user of scp, so I guess it's inevitable that I would eventually add support for "-a" to scp. :-) Actually, it's a "-L" flag for preserving symlinks, and a "-a" flag that is shorthand for "-Lpr". Please let me know if I'm not doing this right.... I made a great

I've configured OpenSSH_5.3p1 to only allow sftp connections (openssh chroot functionality). i.e. Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match group sftpusers ChrootDirectory /chroot/%u X11Forwarding no AllowTcpForwarding no ForceCommand internal-sftp So far everything works correctly with sftp but when a user ssh's or scp's to the box the login
