I believe if you have never logged into the target server from the source server before and it can’t establish authenticity of host and needs your yes/no for ECDSA fingerprint then the command will fail with error code 1.

Can we use pssh.pscp command to copy files from multiple servers in the list to one local server from where the pscp.pssh command is fired? This commands works perfectly

# pscp.pssh -h myscphosts.txt -l tecmint -Av wine-1.7.55.tar.bz2 /tmp/

Hi bro your given command is perfect.

I go through some comments. Some have an error “Exited with error code 1”.

This is because they haven’t logged in that particular server from the system they have fired your command. Ask them to log in to the servers using “ssh”. This is one-time activity.

After that, they will able to use your command and get the “SUCCESS” output.

In the future they will use your command directly.

It didn't work for me as well. I can get into the machine through same ip and port as I've inserted into hosts.txt file. Still i get the below messages:

[root@node1 ~]# pscp -h myscphosts.txt root -Av LoadKafkaRN.jar /home/
