I have two users in Fedora:
- Wani
- root (quite obvious!)
My contents of .bashrc of user Wani are:
# .bashrc echo "Hello" # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi # User specific aliases and functions
Now after logging into root, I type the following commands:
[root@Dell Wani]# touch try.txt [root@Dell Wani]# service sshd start [root@Dell Wani]# scp try.txt Wani@localhost:~/ Wani@localhost's password: Hello [root@Dell Wani]#
Now I log into Wani, and type:
[Wani@Dell ~]$ cat try.txt cat: try.txt: No such file or directory [Wani@Dell ~]$
Now I again log into root and type the same command with -v
:
[root@Dell Wani]# scp -v morph.log Wani@localhost: Executing: program /usr/bin/ssh host localhost, user Wani, command scp -v -t -- .

(And after I press Enter)
[root@Dell Wani]#
Can anyone please shed some light as to what exactly happened here? Why did the file not get copied to Wani from root?
