When I'm connecting to server from my local desktop - it is connecting.

When I'm using scp over port 22 - have timeout.

I'm using following commands to connect via SSH:

ssh -p 22 [email protected]

and it is connected and I can log in

After that I want to copy the file from the server IP 192.168.12.10:

scp -P 22 /home/user1/Desktop/1.txt [email protected]:/home/user2/Desktop

Her I'm getting the following error 

ssh: connect to host 192.168.12.10 port 22: Connection timed out
lost connection

In Ubuntu 10.04 everything works fine.

I am getting problem for Ubuntu 12.04 only. I can connect to server using ssh and I cannot copy the file using scp.

What is the problem?

  • As I understand you can copy via scp using Ubuntu 10.04, and cannot copy from same server using Ubuntu 12.04. Am I correct?

Reset to default

While -p is the valid option to specify the port to connect to the ssh command, it is not for the scp command.

The -P (capital P) is the parameter to specify the port to connect to the scp command.

The -p parameter (with any value after it) is used to ask scp to preserve modification times, access times, and modes from the original file. Like the -p option of the local copy command, cp.

By the way, 22 beeing the default SSH port, no need to explicitly specify it to the command line.

Add the ssh 192.168.xx.xx subnet 255.255.xxx.xxx to the host.allow file
