Hi,
I'm running into a problem with scp on both my Fedora 2 and RedHat
Enterprise Linux 3 machines. I have found this problem discussed here
previously but it was never clearly resolved.
When I try to copy files to/from my redhat machines to a server running
3.2.0 SSH Secure Shell (non-commercial) I get the following error:
scp: warning: Executing scp1.
scp: FATAL: Executing ssh1 in compatibility mode failed (Check that scp1
is in your PATH).
However, ssh to the same remote machine works. Also I can scp to other
linux machines. The verbose output from the functional and non-functional
scp sessions are attached below.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MikeX
Additional information:
These are the ssh packages which are installed:
[mikeg@nyasa mikeg]$ rpm -qa | grep ssh
openssh-clients-3.6.1p2-33.30.1
openssh-server-3.6.1p2-33.30.1
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.6.1p2-33.30.1
openssh-3.6.1p2-33.30.1
openssh-askpass-3.6.1p2-33.30.1
This is output from whereis:
