How to copy file from Windows to AIX using SCP?

Hi

I'd like to copy file ( or directory ) from a window server to an unix server using scp command, something like this

Code:

scp -rp admin@10.0.99.99:C:\Documents and Settings\abc.txt   /home/oracle/abc.txt

I tried testing something like command above but nothing worked.
Somebody help !! Thank you

For a start, you would need to quote the path that has spaces in it, but generally speaking just saying "it does not work" is not very helpful.

What does not work? How does it not work? What error do you get?

Yeah, I missed it but it's not the point. I'll show you an example.

I executed this command from an aix server

Code:

scp -v -rp admin@10.0.95.29:C:\temp\abc.txt   /home/oracle/abc.txt

and this's the output

Code:

id_MISAP1:/home]scp -v -rp admin@10.0.95.29:C:\temp\abc.txt /home/oracle/abc.txt
Executing: program /usr//bin/ssh host 10.0.95.29, user admin, command scp -v -r -p -f -- C:tempabc.txt

It might suggest that there is a firewall preventing you connecting.

Can you simply connect with ssh to test this? If that fails to connect with similar message & time, check with the network people if port 22 is open for you.

I have marked the part which is IMHO the culprit. Could you please post the result of an "lsuser <username>" where "<username>" is the name of the user on the AIX side?

My suspicion is that you are using either a generic Kerberos domain (which is unusual these days) for user authentication or authenticate against the AD (which basically is a kerberized, dumbed-down-to M$-standards LDAP domain) but you do not have the Kerberos client installed or configured.

If i am correct the commands output should contain "system=KRB5files". In this case you will have to install the Kerberos software, which is in separate packages which are not part of the standard install: "krb5.client.rte" (client software) and "krb5.lic" (license).

I hope this helps.

Could also simply be that the backslashes in the command are not escaped.
