[SOLVED] Problem using scp to transfer a file
I am testing the following command to transfer a file from my server (AIX 5.2) to another server. I was able to generate the keys and sent them the public key.

Code:
scp -v -P 4030 /home/lawson/.ssh/jimtest.txt someuser@some.ftpsite.net:/Inbound/jimtest.txt > jimtest_out.txt 2>&1

Based on the output from the command it looks like it is authenticating correctly, but the file is not getting sent or they tell me they are not getting it. Can you take a look at the above command and let me know if it is not correct. I am currently doing this from the command line, but will script it when I get it working. Below is output from the comman execution.
Code:

Any thoughts. I want to determine if the problem is on my side or theirs. Thank you.

Make sure you have permissions to overwrite the file and write to that folder.

I have a conference call with them this afternoon so I will ask. Thank you for the response.

Update,
The scp is not allowed on their end so I ended up using the sftp command as such:
Code:
sftp -oPORT=4030 username@some.ftpsite.net
put file.txt

This still allows me to login without a password because it uses the public key.
