Shell Script SCP Return Code 1

Question

I am using shell script scp command to move one file from one server to another using ssh. My command looks like this:

scp -P 23 -i $TEST_SSHKEY $DESTINATION_PATH/$FILETOCOPY $USER_ID@$SERVER_BOX:

File is copying but scp is returning return code as 1.

Why it is happening and what is the solution for this?

G'day,

Try enabling verbose mode (-v) to see more details of what's going on rather than just looking at a return code of 1 which means "something bad happened".

HTH

cheers,
