No joy. I'm still getting the same output when I run just scp or which scp.

On both servers or just one?

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.

I'm trying to copy from my MBP to the server, and I'm just getting that on the remote server.

Code blocks is just for spaces at the beginning of a line.

That is a shortcut for single line.

A full block is three backticks on a line by itself, then the code, then three backticks on a line by itself to close it.

Yeah if you do not put them on separate lines, it acts like a normal single backtick for a bit of inline code.

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.

scottalanmiller

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.
