[ HELPFUL TIP ] SCP in LL5.4 post Upgrade with fix

[firenice03]

@trinidad
I'll have to look into
I'll use Remmina to remoted to Windows as it also works with RDP...
From windows - if I recall I used Powershell and wanted to send a couple files --- I could of went through a share too (its there) but it was a "one" off I wanted the files in a specific directory vs yada yada... LOL ...

Cross platform nowadays I have changed over to using ssh server and an xming server on Windows 10 with xforwarding enabled and then using any Linux with a Remmina  client installed. Just forward Remmina to your Windows desktop and then use its sftp interface to transfer files in either direction. Works fine and easy to teach others, which is of course part of my ongoing problems with the few business networks I still maIntain.

I actually use [[ $- == *i* ]] || return in my .bashrc currently, does anyone see a problem if I use this in 6x?

G.M. Jerry. Thank you!

FWIW, same error upgrading from 5.2==>5.8. Your solution worked smoothly.

Looking forward to 6.x

[Jerry]

The extra code will be included in 6x

I noticed the same when SCP a couple files from Windows to my LL system...
Just the Welcome line...

Code: [Select]

Welcome to Linux Lite 4.8 boys

Code: [Select]

uname -r
4.15.0-167-generic
cat /etc/llver
Linux Lite 4.8
Same with 5.6.

Code: [Select]

Welcome to Linux Lite 5.6 trcd
Adding the line to the .bachrc worked..

Code: [Select]


# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- == *i* ]] || return

[Jerry]

Could you please try the following as a test instead of what you posted:

Code: [Select]

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- == *i* ]] || return

It is what I use.

[stellartk]

correct..I used the GUI to upgrade and rebooted..

Then was attempted run transfer files from another desktop running LM 20.1 to LL5.4. Noticed error.

MAJOR POSTING CORRECTION: I did state "CLI".. Apologies

If I created/posted in wrong area, please move to appropriate location.
Thanks...

[Jerry]

Whats the full command you are trying? Why did you cli upgrade when we have a GUI for that? Please remove the caps in your title, no one likes being shouted at Cheers.

FWIW/FYI
- Upgraded LL 5.2 TO 5.4 VIA CLI GUI
- SCP would NOT transfer to remote hosts
- Would STOP at Welcome to Linux Lite 5.2 (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-96-generic x86_64)"
- Performed SCP -v option ; GENERATED ERROR  "debug1: Exit status -1 ""
- From another pc running LL 5.2, opened  .bashrc
- Noticed line 1 ===> [[ $- != *i* ]] && return <===        missing on 5.4 .bashrc
- added line in 5.4 .bashrc on line 1
- SCP working
