LIBSSH2_ERROR_SCP_PROTOCOL error when using scp

shaileshk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
I am not able to transfer files using the Net:SSH2 module. scp_get works but scp_put fails with the following message:

-28LIBSSH2_ERROR_SCP_PROTOCOLscp: {/blah/blah.tar.gz}: Permission denied

Can somebody suggest a way to resolve this error?

Regards,
Shailesh

As it says, you have a permission problem, you can't write `/blah/blah.tar.gz`. Maybe try a different path, i.e. one where you can write... in particular, not in the root directory `/`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks for your prompt reply. I have now transferred files to the /tmp directory on the destination server, then used the sudo command to copy the files into the required directory. Work done !! Thanks again.	[reply]
