I will copy file ganteng.txt to host 172.16.x.x

ssh: connect to host 172.16.x.x port 22: Connection refused
lost connection

scp uses -P upper case, ssh -p lower case to specify the port

just to confuse users I guess :wink:

funksen,

I use your command -p or -P ( not effect)

5

sshd is listening on port 9096 in your case

your error message says:

you see scp is trying to connect to port 22 because of your wrong syntax

it's not just the -p, I would also say the order of your arguments and options is wrong

try:

scp -P 9060 ganteng.txt amin@172.16.x.x:/root

Funksen..

I try u command..
Error this..

# scp -P 9060 XXX.SAR amin@172.16.x.x:/root
amin@172.16.x.x's password: 
Could not chdir to home directory /home/amin: A parameter must be a directory.
scp: /root: Permission denied

for your informations

I'm not quite sure why you're hiding part of a private IP address, but... :wink:

User amin does not have access to root's "home" directory, so why are you trying to copy the file there?

scp the file as the root user, or put the file somewhere amin has permission to write to.

Also, there's nothing specifically AIX-related here, so I have moved this thread from the AIX forum.

because maybe config ssh deny root login?

Yes, possibly, but it's a directory access permission error you have, so you can't write the file there as the amin user. You either have to modify /root permission (not recommended), copy the file somewhere else, or copy the file as root.
