SCP permission denied

When scp is used to copy the files the 'Permission denied' message can be caused by:

  1. The destination directory rights that do not allow copying.

An example below shows this case when user pi tries to copy the file to /boot/ICU directory where he has no rights.

  1. Incorrect password. In such a case there will be 3 requests for a password after which the connection will be closed.
