ssh to pc

[jerry1]

I am trying to use ssh scp to a pc but the "\"'s in the path are removed.

scp testfile user1@pc100:e:\Program*Files\files

Had to use an * for "Program Files".

Missing "\"'s from ssh "scp":

scp: e:Program*Filesfiles: No such file or directory


I have tried escape characters and other but
no go.

Is ssh scp only for UNIX or how do you pass
\ in a windows path?

Hi

Try and use Putty to connect to the unix server, there are different ways to connect on it Telnet SSH Rlogin Raw.

Hope this helps

The subject is: ssh TO pc

[James A. Donovan]

You need an extra "\", and you can use the 8.3 abbreviation of "Progra~1" for "Program Files".

e.g.

scp myfile e:\\Progra~1\\files

did you try to use sftp, it should allow the following:
cd "Documents and Settings"

Hi Jerry,

What pc product you use may matter.

Please try:

changing
scp testfile user1@pc100:e:\Program*Files\files

to


scp testfile user1@pc100:e:\"Program Files\files"

Real space in Program files

The right command is somewhere withint the google search. Still pondering.

I'm seriously impaired due to some pain so I'll let you see my search.

Hi Jerry

scp testfile user1@pc100:e:\\Program\ files\\files

that should do it. SEP's way is off course less typing.

Just a note ... when i read your command line testfile implies 1 file ... but files implies multiples, are you trying to copy a set of file to a directory, or is files a archive of a group of files of some sort.

If its an archive or only 1 file your command is fine but if its a group of files
1.testfile should obviuosly be a directory
2. I would rewrite the command as follows ...

scp testfile user1@pc100:e:\\Program\ files\\files\\\*

That should do it

What doesn't work:


Here it does not pass the "\"s.
scp testfile user1@pc100:e:\\Progra~1\\files
scp: e:Program~1files: No such file or directory

This is an invalid string in UNIX leaving me
at a continuation >.
scp testfile user1@pc100:e:\"Program Files\files"
>

Cannot escape the blank in Program Files.
scp testfile user1@pc100:e:\\Program\ files\\files
scp: ambiguous target

I have tried other variations. But I do not
understand why I cannot escape the \ with
\\. Which is valid in UNIX.

I will check out some of your docs but if
anyone can figure out how to use scp from
UNIX to PC. Let me know. If your syntax works
for you I would like to find out why.

Have you tried:

scp testfile "user1@pc1pp:e:\\\\Program Files\\\\files"
