SCP SSH not working between ESXi hosts
just installed ESXi 5 on two different servers. I'm now trying to copy some files between both from the shell but scp and ssh won't connect.
Of course SSH is enabled.
I can connect using putty or Winscp from a windows machine.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Are you sure
ESXi shell has been enabled for the host
SSH for the host has been enabled.
ESXi shell has been enabled for the host
SSH for the host has been enabled.

Done, thanks a lot man. You just taught me about this built in firewall
I used to connect to SSH by enabling SSh service on ESXI but this time dd not work. After enabling the shell and restarting the servic it worked.
Thank you for the help.

Do you get a prompt from the other server....
e.g.
/tmp # scp test.log root@141.xxx.xxx.15:/tmp/t
Host '141.xxx.xxx.15' is not in the trusted hosts file.
(fingerprint md5 de:xx:91:65:xx:xx:30:1f:d7
Do you want to continue connecting? (y/n) y
Login for root@141.xxx.xxx.15
Password:
test.log 100% 0 0.0KB/s 00:00
/tmp #
