I have a new install of 4.0 on my laptop and want to scp the configuration for Alpine from my main machine to it.
I tried an scp -r from the laptop; failed on a refusal by the laptop. Tried it from the main machine. Same result. Finally tried going into the laptop with ssh from the main (which succeeded), and doing scp back. Even that failed, for the same reason. Here's the latest error message, using a gnome terminal on the main pc, after doing ssh into the laptop : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scp -r 192.168.x.y:/home/btth/.pinerc 192.168.x.z:/ home/btth [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied (publickey,password). lost connection [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ The prompt is that of the laptop, whose name reflects the fact I am just starting with Debian. As you see, the ssh session is still intact. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Evangelist Remember I know little (precious little!) of what I am talking about. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
