scp.SCPException: ser **** (100) may not copy files

See original GitHub issue

Hi @ktbyers ,

Using your SCP module in netmiko… SCP’ing config.ucs files from F5 LTMs to local and I’m faced with these exception messages. I can’t find much info on this issue. Any idea what that means? I’m able to do a normal scp from bash without problems.

    self.scp_client.get(source_file, dest_file)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/scp.py", line 238, in get
    self._recv_all()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/scp.py", line 388, in _recv_all
    raise SCPException(asunicode(msg[1:]))
scp.SCPException: ser **** (100) may not copy files (scp -f /var/local/ucs/config.ucs)```
