I've got a remote machine running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I've used it lots of times to log in to via ssh and to copy files to via scp and rsync.

Today I was able to log in via ssh, but I'm not able to copy stuff to the remote drives using scp and rsync. I get the following answers:

scp: 

ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Operation timed out

rsync:

ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Operation timed out
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] 
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-42/rsync/io.c(452) [sender=2.6.9]

What I tried so far:

  • updating and dist-upgrading my machine
  • rebooting my machine
  • restarting the ssh-deamon (sudo service ssh restart)

What else can I do?

  • I did, but the address did not changed. How could it? If it would have, I would not have been able to log in to the machine through ssh in the first place, right?

  • Please show your scp and/or rsync commands. Are you sure you have write access to the destination directory?

The problem solved itself. I think it might be something in the network at the remote end, because after waiting an hour, I was able to copy over files again.

Thanks for your help.
