bash: scp: command not found lost connection

 When you try to scp some thing to a remote server you may endup with the error as shown below.

# scp somefile 10.10.10.10:/home
root@10.10.10.10's password: 
bash: scp: command not found
lost connection

This error occurs because the remote host is missing the openssh-clients package. To fix this issue just login to the remote server, and run the command below.

#yum install openssh-clients

This will fix the issue and you could now scp without any issue.
