> scp: /home/xbmc/pictures/weddingdress4.jpg: Permission denied You are overdoing usage of root. Bad, bad, bad boy, sooner or later you'll pay for it... > Offending ECDSA key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:1 The identification of your remote host changed, critical if you don't know the remote box, trivial in your case because you control both. Solution? Remove the line: sed -i 1d /root/.ssh/known_hosts Again, bad practice as root. You should: sudo chown bmike1. /home/xbmc/pictures/weddingdress4.jpg (the DOT(.) after bmike1 matters!) And then scp your thing. ET Michael Havens writes: > well, I'm trying to copy what is on the larger usb drive across the network > to the TV server.
