The backup is running on system A as root and copies to system B as a normal user, e. g. scp backup.tar <a href="mailto:normal@B.example.com" target="_blank">normal@B.example.com</a>. In my /root/.ssh/config file I have<br>
<br>
Host <a href="http://B.example.com" target="_blank">B.example.com</a><br>
Port 2222<br>
<br>
I did a ssh-copy-id <a href="mailto:normal@B.example.com" target="_blank">normal@B.example.com</a> AND<br>
ssh-copy-id <a href="http://B.example.com" target="_blank">B.example.com</a><br>
<br>
So ssh works fine to <a href="mailto:root@B.example.com" target="_blank">root@B.example.com</a> but not to <a href="mailto:normal@B.example.com" target="_blank">normal@B.example.com</a><br>
<br>
If I change the ssh port back to 22 it works as advertised, connecting to either, but it won't connect to another user on <a href="http://B.example.com" target="_blank">B.example.com</a> with an alternate port. In the man page for .ssh/config there is a User key word but I'm guessing that would force all connections to the host to use that user.<br>
<br>
Other than putting the port number on the command is there a way around this problem?<br>
scp -P 2222 backup.tar <a href="mailto:normal@B.example.com" target="_blank">normal@B.example.com</a> works.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim.<br>
