AIX

I am hoping that someone out there has had the same problem as me and can provide a fix to this problem. I am running AIX 5.1.0.3 and have installed OpenSSH 3.6.1.1. Everytime I execute the scp command... for example:

scp -p /etc/hosts uscaucw9:/tmp/hosts.bak

I get the following message:

PVER1

and nothing happens. I called IBM support and they have nothing in their knowledge base. Has anyone else experienced this problem and can you possibly provice a solution.

Thanks in advance
Mario

Hi,

could you pls run:

scp -vp /etc/hosts uscaucw9:/tmp/hosts.bak

and post debug information to this thread. It might help to solve your problem.
