I am trying to scp files from one computer to another however I get a "exec request failed on channel 0". When I use ssh however, I can get to the machine with no problems. I am using the scp function in Cygwin if that helps.

What I found when searching online talked about the .bashrc file however the only one I found is bash.bashrc.

Please help.

What is the exact command you are running to cause the error? – John T Feb 2 '11 at 17:50
scp /filelocation/file user@hostname:/folderlocation – balloffire Feb 2 '11 at 19:15
Does the remote site have a scp command? – grawity Feb 2 '11 at 19:56
Yes it does have scp – balloffire Feb 2 '11 at 20:00
Have you tried testing it with the IP address instead of the hostname? If so, did you get the same results? – Larry G. Wapnitsky Feb 2 '11 at 22:06
