What is the history on this remote server? What was installed, what modified since it was put in?
Brand new, clean install. The only thing I've done on it is run updates.
Wow, so weird.

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_64I 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.
