I'm trying to use scp to get a file from my desktop onto the server for my school. I'm connected via VPN and using PuTTy to try to do this. I've tried every single combination/permutation/help site on the web that I can think of and I still can't get this thing working. This is what I get:
[palermo@matrix hw2]$ scp synoptic.data palermo@matrix:/rhome/palermo/ats652/hw2
palermo@matrix's password:
synoptic.data: No such file or directory
Yet the file sits, in all it's glory, on my desktop. What have I missed here? This is for a homework due next week, so the urgency is kind of on.
chrism Thanks but that didn't work either. I'm on a MS system, and the server I'm trying to send it to also is MS, but all connected with Linux. I tried using cd c:/ but it didn't like that either:
[palermo@matrix hw2]$ cd c:/
-bash: cd: c:/: No such file or directory
