Issue

i have an instance of ec2.it have some files.i tried to download my file from ec2 instance to my local Ubuntu 13.10.i run this command

scp -i /home/ritesh/.ssh/id_rsa2 [email protected]:/home/apps/dev/comp-eng/arena-client/build/arena-client-7.1.0.zip

and in output i am getting

usage: scp [-12346BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program] [[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2

i am using correct format i think.why i am facing this error instead of downloading file ??

Solution

You need to specify your download location. If its the current directory, you can just add a ..

scp -i /home/ritesh/.ssh/id_rsa2 [email protected]:/home/apps/dev/comp-eng/arena-client/build/arena-client-7.1.0.zip .
