Why my scp is working one side only? "Lost connection" SCP transfer

  • 772

I'm trying to transfer a file via ssh but it works only from PC1 to PC2 but it doesn't work backwards.

I've checked my ssh_config files and both are the same. Which is basic:

Host *
SendEnv LANG LC_*
HashKnownHosts 
GSSAPIAuthentication yes
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no

Because i've also trying adding this to the recievers ssh_config

PasswordAuthentication no
Port 22
Protocol 2, 1

And it still doesn't work.

Here's my I/O

:~# scp -v testFile.txt [email protected]:/home

Executing: program /usr/bin/ssh host 192.168.1.67, user root, command scp -v -t /home
OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.67 [192.168.1.67] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 192.168.1.67 port 22: Connection refused
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.67 port 22: Connection refused
lost connection

What am I missing?

ssh

    From your given output it looks like your host isn't accepting connections on port 22.

    ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.67 port 22: Connection refused

    Check your firewall configuration and make sure it's allowing ssh connections on port 22 from all locations.

    Also make sure that you restarted sshd after making changes to sshd_config.

    You can do this by running service sshd restart or /etc/init.d/sshd restart

    If you need any further help, post the output of iptables -L
