bash: scp: command not found

I've receive this error when I was trying to scp to a remote machine using root account. I've got this error.

bash: scp: command not found
lost connection

This error is similar to the

1. Resolution for bash orted command not found and
2. Unable to source path during non-interactive ssh session

If I interactive directly with the remote machine like ssh into the machine using root, I can enter into the machine. But not with scp.

I'm assuming you have in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config already allows

PermitRootlogin yes

Step 1: To solve this issue, find out where is your scp command resides in your remote computer

# which scp

Step 2: Put the path into your root .bashrc 

export PATH=/usr/bin:{$PATH}
