Full Discussion: Use Unix shell script to open Windows command prompt (cmd)
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Use Unix shell script to open Windows command prompt (cmd) Post 302546006 by rookie2785 on Wednesday 10th of August 2011 07:32:33 AM
Old 08-10-2011
I tried to use the "scp" command but it failed. I think I have a problem specifying the Windows directory where the file needs to be downloaded. I have specified the directory directly as "D:\". Apparently it is searching for the address of my machine. But this would be a problem because I need a dynamic solution since files will be downloaded to many different machines.

PHP Code:
ssh: D: no address associated with name
lost connection 
Any idea on how to proceed?
Thanks
