ssh: command not found when trying to ssh

[R.Bucky]

I have a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04.4 on my laptop. When trying to ssh or sftp in Nautilus, I keep getting the ssh: command not found. I have purged ssh, autoremove, autoclean, clean then reinstalled with the same results.

any ideas on what is happening?

Hello .

Please check the executable permissions on ssh binary .

ls -l /usr/bin/ssh

[R.Bucky]

the command returns

---------- 1 root root 339712 2011-06-16 22:54 /usr/bin/ssh

What should they be?

[codemaniac]

Hello ,

turn required x bits on .

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ssh

Cheers

I changed permissions and made it executable. All is well. I never even thought about permissions or making ssh executable on a clean install.

I appreciate the help with this one. It's always the simple tasks...
