rsync seems to be the solution to your problem. Here’s an example I got from here: rsync -avz foo:src/bar /data/tmp The -a option will preserve permissions, directory structure, ownership, and symlinks. You can also specify any of those options individually as well. -v and -z mean verbose and compress respectively. You don’t really need them … Read more
Another option is cat the files to something local: vagrant ssh -c “sudo cat /home/vagrant/devstack/local.conf” > local.conf This should also work for files that require root permissions (something the vagrant SCP plugin doesn’t seem to support).
Easiest way is scp scp -r /path/to/local/storage user@remote.host:/path/to/copy rsync is best for when you want to update versions where it has been previously copied. If that doesn’t work, rerun with -v and see what the error is.
To achieve the task with ssh and scp (instead of rsync): lets break the task into 2 steps: 1. Create directory if missing: ssh user@ftpserver.com “mkdir -p /data/install/somefolder” 2. Copy to it: scp -r /data/install/somefolder user@ftpserver.com:/data/install/somefolder Put them together server=”user@ftpserver.com” destiny=”/data/install/somefolder” src=”/data/install/somefolder” ssh “$server” “mkdir -p $destiny” && scp -r “$src” “$server:$destiny”
You need the ip of the other pc and do: scp user@ip_of_remote_pc:/home/user/stuff.php /Users/djorge/Desktop it will ask you for ‘user’s password on the other pc.
When you use user@server without a ‘:’ character, scp interprets user@server as the file name on the local machine to which you would like to copy your file. So, you should find a file (or in this case a directory) called user@server in the directory from which you issued the scp -r local_folder user@server command.
I seemed to have found the fix. I had to set the LAN card’s mtu setting to 1492 by: # ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492
I ended up having a look through the source code and found the commit where this error is thrown: GitHub Commit remote->local directory copies satisfy the wildcard specified by the user. This checking provides some protection against a malicious server sending unexpected filenames, but it comes at a risk of rejecting wanted files due to … Read more
An attempt at a comprehensive solution, as there could be several problems and limitations depending on your situation. rsync My preferred option: using rsync doesn’t give this problem and is a bit more versatile in my opinion, e.g. it keeps track of which files are already there, so if the connection ever does break it … Read more
When you run the Cygwin installer again to install new packages, you might notice that searching for “scp” produces no results. It’s actually part of the “openssh” package.
