scp issue
| Posted by Calibaba, 08-29-2007, 04:53 PM | | I am unable to do full site backups to a remote SCP location as I have done in the past. The start of the email that I receive contains this:
Cannot spawn scp Permission denied
Copying backup......Done
Unable to scp /home/user/backup-8.29.2007_13-14-01_user.tar.gz (please check the host domain.org and user user and password)
I'm definitely using proper user/pass.
Cpanel 11 / stable / centos 4.5

| Posted by Patrick, 08-29-2007, 06:01 PM | | Hrm, what's the permissions on SCP?
ls -la /usr/bin/scp
(path may be different on your server)

Nevermind, chmod 755 /usr/bin/scp and it appears to work.
