Question scp from aix to windows (cygwin) fails
Hi...

my problem is that I want to copy one html-file to my windows-box webserver using scp.

so far no problem but the destination is in /cygdrive/c/program files/dest and as we all know unix doesnt like spaces in paths.

Code:
scp html.file user@windowsbox:/cygdrive/c/program files/apache/htdocs/
...doesnt work

has anybody a solution for that problem?
the file needs to be there...

thx

Did it ever worked? I am doubtful, copying to windows host simple doesnt work.
You can try to copy it to dir where there are no spaces in directory.

Copying to "normal" windows directories is no problem. But i want to automate things. I could write a batch script under windows to copy it from A to B but that cant be a solution
is there really no chance to copy it?

Thumbs up
Found the solution somewhere in the web:

Code:
scp html.file user@windowsbox:"/cygdrive/c/program\\ files\\/apache/htdocs"
but thank you anyway for responding...
