I have four servers that for all intents and purposes are the same (I have the same profile on all four), North, South, Brooklyn & Queens.
I have a script that scp's a file from Queens to brooklyn, and it runs just fine. I tried to replicate the script on South, to transfer a file to North, and it fails every time with the message: "Received message too long 538976288".
Since I have same profile on both North & Brooklyn, I don't understand why the transfer fails to north, but not to brooklyn.
I tried using the generic login for the servers and it works, but under my profile it does not.
If it helps here are my profiles on the two servers being connected to:
Northern:
Code:
(14:51:49\[ddecosta@N.Man)
[~]$ nl .bashrc
1 #PS1='[\u@MANDNCS]\w\$ '
2 alias ltr='ls -ltrFh'
3 alias la='ls -ltra'
4 cat ~/simp.txt
5 alias th='tellDhct'
6 alias lq='listQpsk'
7 export EDITOR="vi"
8 alias boxload='/dvs/dncs/bin/_dhctui -t dhct'
9 alias Sourceui='/dvs/dncs/bin/_sourceui'
10 export HISTCONTROL"=ignoredups"
11 export PS1="\n\[\033[1;33m\](\[\033[0;37m\]\t\[\033[0;32m\]\\\\\\\[\033[0;37m\]\u@N.Man\[\033[1;33m\])\[\033[0;32m\]\n[\[\033[0;37m\]\w\[\033[0;32m\]]\[\033[0;37m\]$\[\033[0m\] "
Brooklyn:
Code:
(14:39:31\[ddecosta@Brooklyn)
[~]$ nl .bashrc
1 #PS1='[\u@BKDNCS]\w\$ '
2 cat ~/simp.txt
3 alias ltr='ls -ltrhF'
4 alias la='ls -ltra'
5 alias lq='listQpsk'
6 export EDITOR="vi"
7 alias th='tellDhct'
8 alias boxload='/dvs/dncs/bin/_dhctui -t dhct'
9 alias Sourceui='/dvs/dncs/bin/_sourceui'
10 export HISTCONTROL"=ignoredups"
11 export PS1="\n\[\033[1;33m\](\[\033[0;37m\]\t\[\033[0;32m\]\\\\\\\[\033[0;37m\]\u@Brooklyn\[\033[1;33m\])\[\033[0;32m\]\n[\[\033[0;37m\]\w\[\033[0;32m\]]\[\033[0;37m\]$\[\033[0m\] "
and this is what it returns when I try to SFTP:
Code:
