Error scp command not working

Code:
scp -v root@remote_server_IP:/test /data

The output of the command is :

What is the error you are getting? Post the error. The logs you have provided does not show any error.

Is /test a direcory? If yes, use the -r option for transfer.

What happens when you use the ssh command? (scp runs ssh underneath).

Are you trying this as the root user? By default ssh does not allow root access. BTW do not change this security setting just because this one file copy does not work. Bad idea.
