Copy Multiple Accounts/Packages From Another Server Fails for each account & package?

[webwizardma]

Hi there,

I've used this built-in tool before, and it's awesome! However, I can't get mine to work!

I get this error...
Command failed with exit status 255

and this snippet:

sshcommandfailed=255

I've tried with user account with root escalation, just connecting with root, all the different options (like use ssl, etc.) and no luck!

The weird thing is it gets all the packages and accounts, and goes through them one by one trying to copy, but each comes back with a fail! Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is usually happens when the remote is down/unavailable; or the remote machine doesn't have ssh installed; or a firewall doesn't allow a connection to be established to the remote host.

ssh returns 255 when an error occurred or 255 is returned by the remote script:

EXIT STATUS
ssh exits with the exit status of the remote command or with 255 if an error occurred.

Usually you would receive an error message something similar to:

ssh: connect to host host.domain.com port 22: No route to host

or

ssh: connect to host HOSTNAME port 22: Connection refused

It's hard to pinpoint the exact issue sometimes but my first guess would be to make sure that the server you are transferring from isn't blocking the server you are transferring to.

I can definitely connect to the remote machine via SSH, I hit the test connection button and it says OK - and it lists out accounts & packages!

I dunno, I guess starting a ticket is the way to go from here, since it seems like this is a unique situation?

Hello

Check the server you are copying the accounts from for any special customizations to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Does using the default/stock sshd_config file make a difference?

Thank you.
