I have a requirement to copy few files from remote server to local, and below are the sequence
ssh to the remote host
finding the files with the specific condition
once found scp to the local server path
Code:
for (( i=0; i<${tLen}; i++ ))
do
ssh username@remotehost find /folder1/folder2/ -type f -name "file_feed_*${merchantName[$i]}*_${dt}*.gz.out" | xargs -i {} scp '{}' username@source:/folder1/folder2/
done
When executed the above code the files are not copied to the local path and showing the below error Please advise.
Code:
xargs: {}: No such file or directory

After few research found out scp should be written from remote to local so modified accordingly,but again got into an issue . This time getting the error
Code:
scp: .: not a regular file.
What would have went wrong.Please help.
Code:
for (( i=0; i<${tLen}; i++ ))
do
scp username@remotehost:`find '/folder1/folder2/' -type f -name "file_feed_*${merchantName[$i]}*_${dt}*.gz.out"` /folder1/folder2/
done

I am scp'ing a file from a server (servera) to my server (serverb)
If servera is down - the scp never times out ... it just hangs eternally..
It is possible to specify a timeout in my script - so if scp fails/hang for more than 60 seconds I assume its failed ?
I am aware there is some... (3 Replies)
I'm using scp to copy files to another company via our 4.3.3 server. I am having transfer problems right at the transfer point in scp. Below are 2 debug outputs showing the bottleneck.

Thanks to this forum, I was able to get a program running that uses SSH to control programs running on other hosts. Now I'd like to enhance it.
The control program on the target hosts occassionally needs to be updated. Updating the menu program on the source host is easy as it is on one host. ... (1 Reply)

I try to transfer a file from a Linux host to an AIX-host via scp, which fails. Logging into the AIX-system from the same Linux-system via ssh works well and i am a bit at a loss where to look.

SCP(1) BSD General Commands Manual SCP(1)NAME
scp -- secure copy (remote file copy program)
SYNOPSIS
scp [-346BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program] source ... target
DESCRIPTION
scp copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh(1) for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same secu-
rity as ssh(1). scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for authentication.
The source and target may be specified as a local pathname, a remote host with optional path in the form [user@]host:[path], or a URI in the
form scp://[user@]host[:port][/path]. Local file names can be made explicit using absolute or relative pathnames to avoid scp treating file
names containing ':' as host specifiers.
When copying between two remote hosts, if the URI format is used, a port may only be specified on the target if the -3 option is used.
The options are as follows:
-3 Copies between two remote hosts are transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is copied directly between the
two remote hosts. Note that this option disables the progress meter.
-4 Forces scp to use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Forces scp to use IPv6 addresses only.
-B Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
-C Compression enable. Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to enable compression.
-c cipher
Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-F ssh_config
Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh. This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-i identity_file
Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public key authentication is read. This option is directly passed to
ssh(1).
-l limit
Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
-o ssh_option
Can be used to pass options to ssh in the format used in ssh_config(5). This is useful for specifying options for which there is no
separate scp command-line flag. For full details of the options listed below, and their possible values, see ssh_config(5).

-P port
Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Note that this option is written with a capital 'P', because -p is already
reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file.
-p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.
-q Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and diagnostic messages from ssh(1).
-r Recursively copy entire directories. Note that scp follows symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
-S program
Name of program to use for the encrypted connection. The program must understand ssh(1) options.
-v Verbose mode. Causes scp and ssh(1) to print debugging messages about their progress. This is helpful in debugging connection,
authentication, and configuration problems.
EXIT STATUS
The scp utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
