Copying a local file from windows to a remote server using scp

Question

I use the below command to transfer folder of files from local computer to server via ssh and scp. 

scp -r C:/desktop/myfolder/deployments/ user@host:/path/to/whereyouwant/thefile

This is the error I get when I run it on putty+windows 7. Can anyone tell me how to copy local files from windows to remote servers using scp?

Answer 1

You should use the below commands when the drive letter is C without drive letter and backslashes. 

scp -r \desktop\myfolder\deployments\ user@host:/path/to/whereyouwant/thefile

With putty,  you can use pscp.
