I am trying to copy file from my server to another so I am using the following command:

scp root@myhost /home/direc/file.tar username@secondhost:/home/dir

I am getting the error:

ssh: connect to host secondhost port 22 connection timed out

I know it might be because port 22 is not open on second host

so How do I transfer by specifying port 21 on my second host

When I am trying to transfer files using SCP command I'm getting this error (Removed my IP and RSA key):

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.

I am using newly installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I can connect to this server using ssh. Any help?

In Windows I use WinSCP to transfer files server-side. It has a very attractive feature that I like best: keeping remote folders up to date.

This means, whenever my local file is changed, WinScp will replace the same file on the server with this new file.

Could you suggest me software that support this feature?

It's driving me nuts! I just want to transfer one simple file from laptop to server.

I'm using ubuntu on both machines.

So I have:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sandro    414622 2011-10-14 23:42 sandrophoto-html.tar.gz

And I'm sending it using:

sudo scp -P XXXX sandrophoto-html.tar.gz [email protected]:/media/xx/xx/xx

And I get: scp: /media/xx/xx/xx/sandrophoto-html.tar.gz: Permission denied

p.s. I might be doing this other way around - I want to send file tar.gz that is located on my desktop, to remote server into the folder /media/yadayda

When I try to use scp over IPv6 addresses I get this:

scp -6 osis@::1:/home/osis/test.file ./test.file
ssh: Could not resolve hostname : Name or service not known

With scp all I ever get is 

ssh: Could not resolve hostname : Name or service not known

using this I get a login into my box without a hitch

ssh osis@::1
ipv6 scp
