Chase that cat! Enable scp on the Oracle Developer Day VM

April 16, 2015 cruepprich

I just installed the Oracle Developer Day – Database VirtualBox Appliance and noticed I wasn’t able to scp from my host to the VM. Thanks to Mauro Pagano, who suggested removing the banner from the login script, I was able to fix it.

To remove the banner, edit the /home/oracle/.bashrc file and comment out the following line

cat /home/oracle/Desktop/readme.txt

This prevents the banner to show up, and allows scp to work.
