Hey #Linux friends (and enemies) I have a weird #SSH question.
If I try to SSH into a server, I get a timeout. If I try to SCP some files to it, it works!
What's going on?
The server has an entry in ~/ssh/config
This fails: ssh server
This works: scp text.txt server:/path/
Can any shed some light on why one works and the other doesn't?
