Can't get system to "find" scp command

[jeff12345]

Hello, I am trying to run scp (secure copy) command. I keep getting "ksh: scp: not found" error. I get this even when I run the command from the directory that it is in. I also get it when my command includes the full path to the scp command. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

Here is what I ran:
>userID(server1: /fisc/gnu/bin): /fisc/gnu/bin/scp -v userID@server2:/home/userID/test.txt /home/userID

And here is what was returned:

>Executing: host server2, user userID, command scp -v -f /home/userID/test.jef

Thanks for any help! Jeff

It looks like scp either doesn't exist on server2 or your PATH on server2 needs to include its directory. Connect with an interactive ssh session to server2 to confirm. A "which scp" will probably report none found. If so, edit your .profile to include scp's directory in your PATH and all should be well. Rod Knowlton
