scp issues

[jping45]

I am attempting to perform a scp from server a to server b. I've installed the same packages on both servers, they're identical OS levels and HW. I can perform a scp locally on server a however when I attempt to perform a scp from server b to server a, or even locally on server b I get the following error:

user@serverb's password:
ksh: scp: not found
lost connection

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Did you check the user's path? You should have /bin in your path environmental variable.

thanks for the tip... I ended up adding a link from /usr/local/bin/scp to /usr/bin/scp and that resolved the problem...

Thanks Again,

Well Solaris' 9 bundled scp command is under /bin. Seems you are using a third-party scp. You can always add /usr/local/bin/ in the user's path. This will come handy in the future if you install additional third-party software (almost every binary is put under /usr/local/bin by default).
You wouldn't want ending up with a banch of links.
