Scp transfer: Permission denied












0















I've tried everything so far and not much has worked; every time I try to transfer my file from one of my servers to the other it asks for a password and it always says permission denied (and before you ask I've checked the password many times (maybe there is a different password for the root account)). I'm already pretty sure it's because the file is in root but I don't know how to fix it, the file has to go into. Does any one know how to transfer the file to the root file?
Here's the code I'm using (The Ip and computer names have been changed)



scp -r /home/server/EasyRSA-v3.0.6/pki/reqs/client1.req server@192.168.00.01:/tmp
