Hello Folks,

I posted the following:

############################################################################

At version TRU64 V5.1B "Secure Shell" becomes an integral part of the Unix
O/S and thats great. The version implemented is ssh2 and is integral to the
O/S. I note that in the setld fileset inventory the ssh files sets are
required.

To use ssh on my Alphas in the past we installed and setup OpenSSH. Now
since a version of ssh is integral and supported on my machines I am happy
to use ssh.

Problem is that I am having compatibility problems with other ssh machines.
Namely other Alpha boxes at TRU64 V51A and OpenSHH and SUN boxes with
Solaris in I believe the ssh on Solaris is based on OpenSSH.

[SNIP, SNIP]

Here is the error I get

$ scp -r banner@mars:/sct/banner6/upgrades/general/60101 .
scp: warning: Executing scp1.
scp: FATAL: Executing ssh1 in compatibility mode failed (Check that scp1 is
in your PATH).

[SNIP, SNIP]

Apparently, these issues come up in compatibility with OpenSSH and SSH2

I got several responses thanks to all of you. Sorry for the late summary.

The following URL explains the issue:

http://www.snailbook.com/faq/scp-ossh-to-ssh2.auto.html

The answer is to take a copy of the OpenSSH scp program, rename it to scp1,
and put that program into the PATH of the ssh2 scp program. It works.
