Hi,

I get this while trying to scp onto a local machine(on the same subnet, both machines running Lenny).

Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
lost connection

I am able to ping the machine fine.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks
Vikram

It starts copying and then this, or you get this from the beginning?

Run scp with option -vv and send the output.

Hi,

This is the output of scp -vv

Hmmm, this could be an active RST denial of service. Could you possibly
get a tcpdump of the session and check if you receive an RST packet just
before the connection reset by peer?

Unlikely. On an internal server (but still possible). I had a
similar problem on a dying system. (The XEN-Server died but the
SSH-Socket on the guest was still up and any connection was "reset
by peer").
