Hi all im new to the list,

Im having a problem when using scp from within an other application and
therefore in non-interactive mode. I continue getting:

Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password).

I can connect fine in interactive mode and I haven't send any password
yet...I am suspecting that my shell produces some unwanted output for
the session. As described in http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#2.9, but
running

ssh yourhost /usr/bin/true

generates no unwanted output?

Has anyone had similar problems and how did they solve it? Im running OS
X 10.4.x. and bash as default shell.

Thanks

Jens

It looks like the key hasn't been shared properly. From non-interactive
i suppose

you would be using public keys.

Try running the below at the destination server
/usr/local/sbin/sshd -d -p 5000
and at the source
ssh -vvv -p 5000 "dest hostname"

You can really trouble shoot with this

Ok, sorry for the confusion. Im using scp in "interactive" mode. Im
using Expect from within an Ada application, so it is not visible in a
terminal, but otherwise it would be like working at a normal terminal.

All I want is wait for the "Password:" So I can send the password using
the Send procedure. But this is where things go wrong.

Any ideas?

thanks
