Why does scp seem to be failing?












2















The copy seems to be failing. I was actually trying to copy a large directory and assumed it was failing because of the size, so I made a simple example with a small file, to demonstrate.



hduser@hnode0:~ $ ls -la myfile

-rw-r--r-- 1 hduser hdgroup 0 Aug  7 09:42 myfile

hduser@hnode0:~ $ scp myfile hduser@hnode2

hduser@hnode0:~ $ ssh hnode2

hduser@hnode2:~ $ ls -la myfile

ls: cannot access 'myfile': No such file or directory

hduser@hnode2:~ $ sudo find / -iname myfile

[sudo] password for hduser:

hduser@hnode2:~ $


Does scp write to a log ?

          The scp is not failing, but it isn't doing what you expect it to do.



          With



          scp file user@host


          you make a copy of file called user@host in the current directory (locally).



          With



          scp file user@host:


          you copy file to the remote host host and place it in the home directory of user.



          From the scp manual:




          The source and target may be specified as a local pathname, a remote host
          with optional path in the form [user@]host:[path], or a URI in the form
          scp://[user@]host[:port][/path]. Local file names can be made explicit
          using absolute or relative pathnames to avoid scp treating file names
          containing : as host specifiers.




          Note that it is the : in the source or target filename operand that determines whether it specifies a remote or local location (in the first non-URI form of the argument).

                    Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                    Image
                    6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
