Copying Files From My Laptop To My External HDD That Is Connected To Raspberry PI
Hi All,
Very new to Linux and trying to switch from GUI to CLI for getting things done.
Currently I can just drag the files across from the Laptop to the PI using GUI but I am trying to learn the command line so hopefully someone can help me out.
since you escaped the space in "My Book" (using the backslash) I'm surprised that you needed the quotes... but I generally don't have spaces in file or directory names, and I typically use rsync instead of scp. Anyway good luck on the command line and welcome to LQ.
Distribution: Fedora, Raspbian, Ubuntu via Chrome/Crouton

Yes, I found that on a remote scp target, you have to double-escape whitespace/wildcard characters. The first escape, in this case the quotes, was to prevent whitesapce processing on the originating system and have it send the destination string to the target system. The second escape, in this case the backslashes, is observed on the target system.
