copying files from Server to local machine using putty

[vensriram]

Hi,
I am trying to copy a file from the server to the local machine using the following command in PUTTY. But it is showing "No such file or directory". Can somebody help me resolve this issue

scp -r USERNAME@SERVER_NAME:PATH_IN_THE_SERVER: C:/Test

2. i have also tried to give the command this way

scp -r USERNAME@SERVER_NAME:PATH_IN_THE_SERVER: My IP Address\sharedpath

This time it shows that 100% transferred but i could not see any file in the specified path

I'm surprised it showed anything but an error - I don't use Putty to transfer files, I use WinSCP. If you use the 'Portable executables' link you can download WinSCP without installing it, then you connect in a similar fashion (host, user, password, protocol), and have a 'drag and drop' interface.

Otherwise Windows to Linux copying (or vice-versa) won't work without something like Samba or a network file server configured.

you should use pscp.exe on your windows machine,
and not 'scp'

C:\temp\temp>pscp.exe -r luuk@192.168.178.250:* .

Hello,

I think if it transfered successfully thus that means It was really in your local machine.

Since you can find your files, folders. You can remember anything related to it's name (as file name, folder name.. anything else) then find it

I think after finding you can get the right path to them

Hope it help
