    We have a 30GB oracle database that is being copied to a server which will
    be our production server when a client application upgrade is complete. The
    file transfers will happen twice a week. The Solaris destination servers
    were locked down using Jass and as such the remote tools (rcp, rsh, etc) no
    longer work. I would like to keep them off but the transfer speeds are
    around 600K/s using scp. Much too slow for the window of opportunity. The
    scp/ssh man pages state that blowfish is faster than 3des but when used, the
    destination server returns:

    pash-2.05$ /usr/local/bin/scp -p -c blowfish arc1db04.dbf
    root@172.21.230.11:/tmp
    Executing ssh2 failed. Command:' ssh2 -l root -x -a -o clearallforwardings
    yes -o passwordprompt %U@%H's password: -o nodelay yes -o
    authenticationnotify yes -o ciphers blowfish 172.21.230.11 -s sftp' System
    error message: 'Permission denied'

    Can scp be configured to use no encryption for transfers? Is my only option
    to use rcp?

    Thanks
    -Rob
