I am trying to ssh into my raspberry pi and send a file to it using SSHpass and scp

This is the command I have been using: 

sshpass -p "raspberry" scp -r pi@10.0.0.125:/home/pi/Desktop/New C:/Users/Matt/Desktop/CSIndependantStudy/RaspberryPiJars/raspberryEncrypt.jar

Whenever I execute the command no errors show up and it seems like everything has worked. However the raspberryEncrypt.jar has not been transferred to my raspberry pi.

When I try it with just 

 scp -r pi@10.0.0.125:/home/pi/Desktop/New C:/Users/Matt/Desktop/CSIndependantStudy/RaspberryPiJars/raspberryEncrypt.jar

I get prompted to enter the raspberry pi password and receive this error:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname c: Name or service not known

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Solution

  • In the string C:/Users/Matt/Desktop/CSIndependantStudy/ ssh is interpreting c as the host. Use a local path that doesn't include a windows drive letter, or colon since the colon is the separator between host and path in scp.
