Linux Lite Forums

Hi,

Running Linuxlite since two days. Works fine except SCP. SSH works, but when transmitting files to the LinuxLite host with SCP I only get a welcome message.

Syntax: scp file user@host:~
Output: Welcome to Linux Lite 4.0 ola
..nothing ends up on the other side.

I googled and found a lot pointing at the welcome banner interfering with scp, but no luck with getting rid of the banner (or the problem). SCP is quite common and trivial so I'm surprised that it's not working on a basic setup.

All help appreciated!

..seems like I found a workaround. Commenting out the msg at the end of the .bashrc (home/USER/.bashrc) solved it. That also get rid of the banner in ssh login but I can live with that. (Or maybe do a custom one in sshd.conf?). If anyone have a different solution, please reply.

/home/USER/.bashrc now looks like this

Code:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells

if ! shopt -oq posix; then

  if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then

    . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

  elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then

    . /etc/bash_completion

  fi

fi

alias usage='du -sk * | sort -n | perl -ne '\''($s,$f)=split(m{\t});for (qw(K M G)) {if($s<1024) {printf("%.1f",$s);print "$_\t$f"; last};$s=$s/1024}'\'

alias ls="ls --color"

# Powerline

if [ -f /usr/share/powerline/bindings/bash/powerline.sh ]; then

    source /usr/share/powerline/bindings/bash/powerline.sh

fi

# Linux Lite Custom Terminal

LLVER=$(awk '{print}' /etc/llver)

Thank you, although your post is nearly 4 years old your work around worked for me. Smile
