scp issue
I've got an ssh server on each pc in my LAN.
I wanna use scp to copy files, but it doesn't work.
Code:
0;4:59pm% scp mghis@localhost:/home/mghis/foobar mghis@192.168.0.3:/home/mghis/foobar
mghis@192.168.0.3's password: < I type in the remote password >
mar 28 set 2010, 17.00.26, CEST
17:00:26 up 2:13, 3 users, load average: 0.16, 0.31, 0.26
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,password).
lost connection
1;5:00pm% scp foobar mghis@192.168.0.3:/home/mghis/foobar
mghis@192.168.0.3's password: 
mar 28 set 2010, 17.01.00, CEST

The foobar file is not on the remote host!

I'm using Ubuntu Linux 10.4 in both PCs.

thanks for any reply!

I would start by checking why:
ssh remote host, Is all fine?

Excuse me for the non-descriptive title...

Anyway i can ssh to the remote host.

Then next
what UID are you, local, remote?
Could it be your firewall restricting you?

Thank you for your help. I solved.
In my .tcshrc there were lines which prints out the date and some other stuff.
Apparently sftp and scp doesn't like that. Anyway i removed the contents of /etc/motd and modified the ~/.tcshrc and now scp is working fine.
