bizarre scp behavior and not sure if my computer is hacked?


I tried to copy a directory called httrack_get from my local directory to my ec2 instance and I got this bizarre output in return. What does it mean?

screen of my terminal


Solution

  • You didn't copy httrack_get to ec2. You copied ec2-user's home directory to your local machine. You have the source and destination the wrong way around.
