scp: Failed to open file /my/Path/test.txt on Windows Server












0














I have been trying to copy a file from a remote Windows Server to my local docker image from my local docker image and I keep getting the error 'scp:Failed to open File /my/Path/test.txt'.My workaround was placing it in Documents and passed the source path '/Documents/test.txt' and it worked for a while. It has stopped working now and I get the same error. I know for a fact that I am able to ssh into the server. Any idea on how to resolve the issue or is there any better method to copy a file from a remote server to my system?



Thanks!
