`sh` access denied over ssh connection
- by inspectorG4dget
I have an ubuntu server and a windows XP client running Cygwin. The server ssh's into the client and tries to execute a shell script with some params, with the following command:
ssh user@IP_ADDR 'sh /home/user/project/clientside 2 5 7 6 9 5 7 IP_ADDR'
where IP_ADDR is the IP address of client.
However, while doing so, I get the following error:
Access is denied.
Thinking this might be a user permissions error, I tried running sh /home/user/project/clientside 2 5 7 6 9 5 7 IP_ADDR on the client, on Cygwin, while logged in as user.
This works as expected.
Then I thought that this might be an error with the login that I use when I ssh into the client. So I executed this instead:
ssh user@IP_ADDR 'whoami'
and got back user.
This happened even after I did chmod -R 777 /home/user/project on the client, in Cygwin.
For kicks, I got on Cygwin on the client and did ssh localhost and manually executed sh /home/user/project/clientside 2 5 7 6 9 5 7 IP_ADDR.
This worked as expected.
However, when I did ssh IP_ADDR from Cygwin and did ssh localhost and manually executed sh /home/user/project/clientside 2 5 7 6 9 5 7 IP_ADDR, I get the same Access is denied. error.
Why is this happening? How can I fix this?
By the way, both the server and the client have each other's rsa public key for passwordless ssh
