juju scp does not work

[Ebrar Leblebici]

Hi,

I am using the juju client version 3.5.3:

$ juju version
3.5.3-genericlinux-amd64

I am not able to get the files from the unit by using "juju scp":

$ juju ssh kafka/0 -- sudo ls -l /home/ubuntu/creds
total 16
-rw-r----- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 399 Aug 13 11:48 zk-client.properties
-rw-r----- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 3966 Aug 13 11:48 zk-ks.jks
-rw-r----- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 4246 Aug 13 11:48 zk-ts.jks
Connection to 10.149.16.120 closed.

Below is not working:

juju scp -- -r kafka/0:/home/ubuntu/creds .

It is also not working when I try to copy one of the files:

juju scp kafka/0:/home/ubuntu/creds/zk-client.properties .

When I run with "--debug" I have the following output:

$ juju --debug scp kafka/0:/home/ubuntu/creds/zk-client.properties .

What is the directory that you are copying the files into? Does it work if you are in your own home directory?

Snap confinement might deny access to where you are running the command from.

No, I tried that in my home directory and it did not work.
