I am trying to scp the files from machineB to machineA. I need to run the scp command from machineA to copy files from machineB to machineA.

The file that I need to copy from machineB is - 

/bat/data/snapshot/5.data

And where I need to copy the file into machineA is - 

/data01/primary

in which I have root access as well and /data01/primary has only root credentials. Below is the ls -lt on machineA

david@machineA:/$ ls -lt

drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 Nov  7 17:43 data02
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 Nov  7 17:42 data01
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 Nov  7 17:26 opt

So I was trying the below scp command on machineA to copy the files - 

scp david@machineB:/bat/data/snapshot/5.data root@machineA:/data01/primary

but I am always getting - 

Host key verification failed.

I do have root access to machineA but not root access to machineB. And I can ping machineB from machineA as well. And both machines are in production domain as well.

Problem with the ~/.ssh/known_hosts can cause this. You can either remove the file 

rm -i ~/.ssh/known_hosts

or you could edit the file and remove the line containing machine B.
