Re: trying to use SCP to copy files from one EC2 instance to another.

SCP uses SSH port.
Can you connect with SSH client to the machine?

trying to use SCP to copy files from one EC2 instance to another.

We are trying to use SCP to copy files from one EC2 instance to another.

We have configured our security group profiles to allow port 22 traffic but I dont believe the machine we are copying too, is listening on port 22 and therefore we get connection refused.

Is there some requirement for using SCP to copy between 2 machines like having an SCP client server side app running that is listening on port 22?

What might I be missing here?

Thanks in advance.
