My existing jenkins master-slave connection got broken . I tried establishing the connection via scp command.
On master:
scp ~/ .ssh/id_rsa.pub jenkins@<my_slave_machine>:/tmp
On slave :
• ssh-keygen –b 2048 –t rsa
• Press enter for " Enter file in which to save the key (/home/jenkins/.ssh/id_rsa) : "
• Press enter for " Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):"
• Press enter for " Enter same passphrase again:"
• cd .ssh/
• touch authorized_keys
• chmod 600 authorized_keys
• cat /tmp/id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
After trying to connect from UI, getting the below error.

It looks like you're connecting to this server as a user named "dx00926". The simplest explanation for this error is that this "dx00926" user on the remote system doesn't have permission to create files in the directory /home/jenkins, or there's an existing file named "/home/jenkins/slave.jar" there and this user doesn't have permission to overwrite its contents.
Either modify the permission on the /home/jenkins directory to permit dx00926 to create files there, or connect to the remote system with a user that does have permissions to create files there.
