For a while, I haven’t been able to get scp<\/b> to work between Linux and Mac OS X. This only happened when I used the scp<\/b> command on my Linux box, with Mac OS X acting as the ssh server. Here’s the symptom:<\/p>\n
On Linux:<\/p>\n
$ scp user@192.168.1.5:~\/Documents\/Some\/File.txt \/tmp\/.
\nPassword:
\n$<\/b><\/p>\n
It disconnected me after entering my password without transferring the file. In the Gnome File Browser (nautilus), if I tried to connect to the Mac OS X box using ssh:\/\/<\/b> in the address bar, the gvfsd-sftp<\/b> process would consume 100% of the CPU until I killed it.<\/p>\n
Here’s the solution:<\/p>\n
On the Mac OS X computer, in my ~\/.bashrc<\/b> file, I was echo<\/b>‘ing some text just to say that my .bashrc<\/b> had been sourced. Removing that echo<\/b> line fixed the problem and now both the scp<\/b> command and the Gnome File Browser work just fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
