Trying to copy Using scp facing problem
source file is located in (elk.some.com)
/export/elk2/vp141p/Somedir/dist/current/Filename.ear
destination machine(191.hydc.xxx.com)
/export/home/vp141p/ARCHIVE
Code:
scp -p vp141p@hstst191.hydc.sbc.com:/export/elk2/vp141p/PM_Build_SBS/Build_PVT_SBS/dist/current/Filename.ear .

The above code is doing is copying to home directory of remote machinf

But i need to copy it to specific directory
i need to copy it to /export/home/vp141p/ARCHIVE
Code:
scp -p vp141p@hstst191.hydc.sbc.com:/export/elk2/vp141p/PM_Build_SBS/Build_PVT_SBS/dist/current/Filename.ear  /export/home/vp141p/ARCHIVE

it gives error
No such file or directory

But a directory is already there and all the permissions are there

Perhaps it can't find the originating file, then.

Code:
 
scp syntax is :
 



Code:



 
scp local_file.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory






So, in that case
 
scp -p /export/elk2/vp141p/Somedir/dist/current/Filename.ear

vp141p@hstst191.hydc.sbc.com:/export...vp141p/ARCHIVE

should work.

Well, that's not the correct syntax for "cp".

It seems you're using the same "username@hostname:/path" syntax with "scp" as well as with "cp".

If that was just a typo in your post, then either the source or destination locations might not exist at all.
