trouble with scp between esx 3 servers

[sefland]

Hi,

After installation I can use winscp to the ESX servers, but when I tried scp on the service-console between the esx servers I get "connetion refused"

Any suggestion. I have googled around before I posted this messeage.

[Nautilus]

do you opened the firewall port for scp ?

What command are you using? Are you trying to SCP with a different account than the one used by WinSCP?

Which account are you using to SCP to the other ESX server? Root or non root account?

Same account as I used with winscp (non root)

What command are you using?

[sefland]

scp -r -v name-of-folder non-root@esx3server:/home/non-root/

That should work can you try a specific file and see if that works for you

I think Nautilus may be on the right track.

From the console of the machine you are trying to SCP from run:

esxcfg-firewall -q | grep sshClient[/code]

If you do not see anything returned run:

esxcfg-firewall -e sshClient[/code]

I would first try to SSH to ensure you can do that. If you can SSH then try SCP again.

tried that and same problem. "Connection refused"

[Nautilus]

do you started the firewall service ?

service firewall restart

i think the berst way is to stop on both Hosts the Firewall with

service firewall stop and test it again
