Hi all,

I want to setup a scp to a Windows machine and be able to get all files in the folder it ftp's to.

I can successfully get the connection to the box with scp.
I can get a file if i put in the name of the file fine.
I want to be able to get all files in that directory.

I try to put in values like *.* and * and doesn't work.
Even if I put in *.exe, still won't find the file.
I have also tried the -r option but that doesn't work either.

The command I am using is:
scp -P 223 username@serverip:*.* ./test2/

Does anybody know what needs to be set to be able to do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Jason

Hi.

The problem is that your local shell is expanding the '*', not the remote shell.

Try:Dave

The response I get back is scp: Failed to open file *.*.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Windows.

You might have better luck running sshd through cygwin on the Windows side, as it provides a proper shell that understands globs.
