Cannot scp a file into gcloud: Permission denied (publickey)
I'm trying to copy a file into a compute instance using gcloud like this:
gcloud compute scp ./file.txt.bz2 root@instance-1:/home/mehran/
And I'm facing an error:
No zone specified. Using zone [us-central1-c] for instance: [instance-1].
root@###.###.###.###: Permission denied (publickey).
lost connection
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.scp) [/usr/bin/scp] exited with return code [1].
I've also tested without root:
gcloud compute scp ./file.txt.bz2 instance-1:/home/mehran/
And facing the same error. This is in the case that I can ssh into the same instance without any issue:
gcloud compute ssh instance-1
google-cloud-platform gcloud scp

Did you allow root login? By default it's deactivated and it should stay that way...

Did not see the line, sorry... Did you open the firewall rule? can you test a telnet on the ssh port?

The only firewall related items I see in the Google Console are for HTTP and HTTPS. Unless you mean from within the OS in which case I didn't touch anything. One more thing, I can ssh into the instance as mentioned in the post.

Apparently, my user does not have the write permission to the home folder! Event a chmod 777 did not help. I ended up copying to /tmp folder and then pick it up from there!
For some reason, the ssh (web-based) and scp were using different users. That's why my scp user didn't have access to that folder. It was trying to write into another user's folder.
