SCP from UNIX to AIX
Hi,
I want to use SCP to transfer files from HP - UNIX to IBM AIX

I have generated keys using ssh-keygen -t rsa on the UNIX box.

I have copied the public key to the AIX box to the HOME_DIR of the user /.ssh/ authorized_keys

When i try to use SCP it is still asking for a password. Please help me.

When i do the same to another HP-UNIX its working fine.

Thanks
Vijay

is the use of keys allowed in the sshd config file?

PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
HostbasedAuthentication no

A frequently made error is to copy the key by means of X-Windows copy & paste. This way the quite lengthy line with the key gets split up into several lines and if the windows are of the same size it looks ok - but isn't.

Thanks
Thanks for the replies.
I hope we need to enable in the Cofig file for Authentication.

It means we have to enable Yes in the IBM AIX box right.
PasswordAuthentication Yes

One more....
I see
PasswordAuthentication yes
on the UNIX side and I beleive it should be Yes only as i am able to transfer to another UNIX box with the same configuration without a prompt for password.

Please confirm me if i need to make that Yes on the AIX server also inorder for the SCP no to ask password when i do SCP.

Thanks
Vijay
