syntax problems with scp/rsync

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I seem to be having some difficulty using scp and rsync with the most
basic commands giving me problems:

$ scp kvh1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:FN* .
usage: scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
           [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
           [[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2

$ rsync kvh1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:FN* .
rsync  version 2.6.6  protocol version 29
...
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(897)

However, both commands (listed below) work fine: 
$ scp t* kvh1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:
$ rsync t* kvh1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:


What is going on to cause the incorrect syntax in attempting to retrieve 
files from the remote host? 


Thanks,

-K
