Is there an openssh-clients package to install? I don't have a 6.7 server running to test on.
There is one, yes.
-
Oh yes, that appears to be missing.
-
I ran across that forum post as well, but both the OpenSSH-client and OpenSSH-server packages are installed.
-
@Kelly It looks like they instruct to install openssh-clients in the final response at the bottom of the thread (as opposed to openssh-client). Have you attempted that?

-client is not in the list that you posted.

yes, definitely plural.

On CentOS 7, this is the package list...
openssh-6.6.1p1-23.el7_2.x86_64 openssh-server-6.6.1p1-23.el7_2.x86_64 openssh-clients-6.6.1p1-23.el7_2.x86_64

I wonder if this is related the minimal iso vs full DVD iso with minimal install. I haven't ever needed to install anything for ssh/scp to work. But I use the Minimal selection from the full DVD image.

I don't need anything additional for scp to work and I use the minimal iso.

He is missing a package from minimal for some reason.

That's odd. I just scp'd into my minimal install to check. Did @Kelly do a yum update?

We know that minimal has the openssh-clients package and his does not. It must have failed or gotten removed somehow.
Oh, sorry I misunderstood.

That was it. I had the below installed:
openssh-5.3p1-112.el6_7.x86_64 openssh-server-5.3p1-112.el6_7.x86_64
I ran yum install openssh-clients and now I have scp available. I'm going to test to see if this means I can now scp the file across.

Ok, I can now copy. Thanks for all the help. I have learned a lot in just this one issue.
-
Honestly, a lot of us probably did. I at least assumed scp would be working out of the box even on a minimal install. Good things to take note of for latter.

It absolutely does. We all use it, all of the time. Somehow a package was missing in this case.

Cool, just realized that this was solved. So marking it as such. Thanks.
