[SOLVED] SCP

gaurvrishi · 03-19-2013, 02:37 AM

I am not able to do the SCP when there is timestamps in file name. Getting below error.

scp power-2013-03-10-Sunday-08\:07\:01.dmp.gz root@172.16.24.76:/tmp
ssh: power-2013-03-10-Sunday-08: Name or service not known

But if i remove the timestamps then its working fine.

Use
scp 'power-2013-03-10-Sunday-08:07:01.dmp.gz' root@172.16.24.76:/tmp
or
scp power-2013-03-10-Sunday-08* root@172.16.24.76:/tmp

It was working with with '*' but not with first one. However, i am trying rsync with delete option but getting the same error

rsync --remove-source-files 'power-2013-03-10-Sunday-08*' root@172.16.24.76:/tmp
rsync: --remove-source-files: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1231) [client=2.6.8]

but same is working with this

rsync -av 'power-2013-03-10-Sunday-08*' root@172.16.24.76:/tmp
root@172.16.24.76's password:

that is another problem, probably you have an outdated rsync version, it does not support that option. Try to update it to version 3.
