I'm SSHing into a remote server on the command line, and trying to copy a directory onto my local machine with the "scp" command, but the remove server gives back this "usage" message:
[Stewart:console/ebooks/discostat] jmm% scp -p ./styles/
usage: scp [-1246BCEpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
[-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
[[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2
[Stewart:console/ebooks/discostat] jmm%
I'd like to be able to transfer files in both directions. From what I read, I thought the above command would work for downloading, and "scp -p [localpath] [remotepath]" for uploading? Thx.
