Solaris

I am trying to transfer a file between two Solaris machines using SCP. I tried different options, like forcing remote host to use SCP version 1 and SCP version 2. Using IP address for remote host instead of hostname. But nothing helps. Moreover, there doesnt seem to be much of a help available on Google for this problem. I checked the connectivity till layer 4 is fine. (that eliminates network and firewall issues). I can transfer files between "foo" and other machines though using SCP.


foo{82}> pwd
/var/tmp
foo{83}>scp -v ./tst.jay -1 192.168.216.120:/var/tmp
Password:
tcsh: No such device

foo{84}> telnet 192.168.216.120 22

The problem seems to be related to the server's login shell, what else would tcsh have to do with it? It's made the connection and logged in, then tcsh does something barmy. Does changing the user's login shell to sh help?
