I want to copy some file from a remote Linux system to my Windows PC using pscp (from PuTTY). I wrote a small script that should copy all .png files in a directory on my server:
pscp -unsafe root@169.60.147.[redacted]:/root/pytorch-CycleGAN-and-pix2pix/results/summer2winter_yosemite_cyclegan/test_latest/images/*.png C:\files\tests\images
I'm using the -unsafe option because whenever I run this command, I get this output:
ignoring potentially dangerous server-supplied filename '2011-05-29 10:20:21_rec_A.png'
ignoring potentially dangerous server-supplied filename '2011-07-06 16:55:20_real_B.png'
..
ignoring potentially dangerous server-supplied filename '2011-08-30 23:13:10_real_A.png'
pscp: wildcard '*.png' matched no files
However, when I use the -unsafe option the command will still output those same results. Here is some documentation on pscp that I read over thoroughly, to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?
-unsafe won't help with this.
The problem is that your file names contain colons. Colons are not allowed in Windows file names.
