That should absolutely match hidden files. The / at the end of the source says “every file under this directory”. Nevertheless, testing and research bear you out. This is stupid behavior. The “answer” is to append a dot to the end of the source: scp -rp src/. user@server:dest/ The real answer is to use rsync.
scp is supposed to take the same command line options as ssh, try: -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null Maybe add -q to disable the warnings as well.
You can add -o options to scp instead of .ssh/config. scp -o ProxyCommand=”ssh $jump_host nc $host 22″ $local_path $host:$destination_path $jump_host is your “server B” in this case.
Yup, use -r: scp -rp sourcedirectory user@dest:/path -r means recursive -p preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file. Note: This creates the sourcedirectory inside /path thus the files will be in /path/sourcedirectory
The -i flag specifies the private key (.pem file) to use. If you don’t specify that flag (as in your first command) it will use your default ssh key (usually under ~/.ssh/). So in your first command, you are actually asking scp to upload the .pem file itself using your default ssh key. I don’t … Read more
It depends on what your local OS is. If your local OS is Unix-like, then try: If your local OS is Windows ,then you should use pscp.exe utility. For example, below command will download file.txt from remote to D: disk of local machine. It seems your Local OS is Unix, so try the former one. For those who don’t … Read more
I got the exact same problem when I included the following line on my ~/.bashrc: The purpose of this line was to allow the use of Ctrl-s in reverse search of bash. This link has a solution (not available) Web Archive version of the above link ‘stty’ applies to ttys, which you have for interactive login sessions. .kshrc … Read more
If you’re using GNOME, you can go to: Places → Connect to Server in Nautilus and choose SSH. If you have an SSH agent running and configured, no password will be asked! (This is the same as sftp://root@servername/directory in Nautilus) In Konqueror, you can simply type: fish://servername. Per Mike R: In Ubuntu 14.04 (with Unity) it’s under Files → Connect to Server in the menu or Network → Connect to Server in the sidebar.
This is probably not a direct answer to what you’re asking, but when I need to transfer files over a SSH session I use WinSCP, which is an excellent file transfer program over SCP or SFTP. Of course this assumes you’re on Windows.
This one worked for me.
