I'm trying to copy a file from a Windows host to a remote Linux (Ubuntu) server using pscp.

This looks straight forward at first:

pscp -P 22 'C:\text.txt' user@ip:~/Downloads

However, I get the following error:

'C:\test.txt': Remote to remote not supported

The thing is I found nothing about "remote to remote not supported". I mean, really nothing.

Any ideas?

The single quotes around C:\text.txt should not be there.

  • Either remove them, as no quotes are needed, if the path does not contain spaces.

    pscp C:\text.txt user@ip:~/Downloads

  • Or use double-quotes.

    pscp "C:\path with spaces\text.txt" user@ip:~/Downloads

Single quotes are rarely used in Windows commandline.

Also the -P 22 is not needed either, as port 22 is the default SSH/SFTP/SCP port.
