I run current Fedora releases on my home office boxes, but at my "real" office (i.e., where I *don't* own the machines) it is still mandated that 2 particular machines will stay with FC17. (This is a BIG improvement because I was only able to upgrade the first one (machine "A") a week or so ago. The other (machine B) is still running FC14 and will stay that way until the next "maintenance weekend" some time in October. I need to set things up so that cron jobs can run the scp commands without anyone having to key in a password. But since the upgrade, I've been having a problem getting scp to work in both directions on the FC17 machine. First I generated the two necessary id_dsa and id_dsa.pub files (ssh- keygen -t dsa on both machines), and then I installed the id_dsa.pub key from machine A into the authorized_keys file on machine B and vice- versa (in the appropriate ~/.ssh directories). >From a terminal, scp works fine in both directions. However... >From machine A (FC17) I can successfully do both of these: scp <FILENAME> <machine B>:/PATH (copy to machine A from B) scp <machine B>:/PATH/<FILENAME> (copy to machine B from A) BUT from machine B (FC14), both of these fail: scp <FILENAME> <machine A>:/PATH scp <machine A>:/PATH/<FILENAME> As I had this working when both machines were running FC14, I suspect that there's something I'm overlooking, and I haven't found it yet. I've been working at this for about a week with no results, and if anyone has any pointers, suggestions, or a URL or two, I'd really appreciate any help you can give me (yes I've read the manuals and looked it up on line - but so far without figuring out a solution). - Thanks, wwa -- airedad@xxxxxxx "life is just another phase i'm going through. this time, anyway ..." -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
