automatic SCP transfers issues

Hi,

I'm trying to set up scp but it isn't as nice as WinSCP. My requirement is to transfer a file from one machine to another with scp. This would run in a .ksh so it would need to avoid prompts (password/are you sure). First I tried this with v2: SSH with Keys HOWTO: SSH with Keys in a console window
Then I tried this: ssh-keygen: password-less SSH login

I moved the .pubs to the server I wanted to connect to and cat'd them to the authorized_keys & authorized_keys2 files but it doesn't work. I get the following error:

debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /home/oracle/.ssh/identity type -1
debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_3.9p1
debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.9p1 pat OpenSSH*
Protocol major versions differ: 1 vs. 2

Anyone able to help or has a good simple to follow guide? The scp should overwrite any file with the same name. Thanks for help.

Which scp do you use? From the debug output it seems that the server will only communicate using SSHv2, while your client insists on using SSHv1 (which is long outdated).
