-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I think I remember doing this once, however can't seem to get the syntax quite right. I am trying to scp 1 file from remote machine to local machine...What I am trying to copy is a directory tree on the remote machine and have it created within my current directory. The syntax I have been trying is something like: scp user at host:"/path/to/this is the file" . And yes I know I forgot the -r option above, however since I am typing this from a Putty terminal its more trouble than its worth to correct the message since I can't see what I am typing. Another quoting variant I trie dwas: scp "user at host:/path/to/this is the file" . Those quoting variants don't seem to be working...What scp ends up doing is streating the individual words that make up filename to be 2 different files. Does anyone know the correct quoting variant to use so that scp will interpret it properly? Thanks! - -- Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with your Microsoft product. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAuDKeNohoaf1zXJMRAgXsAJoDGYVuYiv/VM7FTy6Oe3PwizlqZACfQbAh IUesxc7AMfck/3tSwtNQTbU= =gl5F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
