问题
I am using ssh to work on a remote server, however when I try to download a file using scp in this format:
scp name@website.com:somefile.zip ~/Desktop
It asks me for my password, and shows this:
somefile.zip 100% 6491 6.3KB/s 00:00
however, this file never appears on my desktop. Any help
回答1:
I think that you are logging into the remote machine using ssh and then running the command on the remote machine. You should actually be running the command without logging into your remote server first.
回答2:
You need to specify the file path
scp name@website.com:/path/to/somefile.zip ~/Desktop
回答3:
~/Desktop should actually be a directory, not a file. I suggest that you do the following:
- Remove the
~/Desktopfile withrm ~/Desktop(or move it withmvif you want to keep its contents). - Create the directory with
mkdir ~/Desktop. - Try again to
scpthe zip file.
BTW, when I need to copy files into directories, I usually put a slash after the directory to avoid such problems (in case I make a mistake), e.g. scp server:file ~/Desktop/; if the directory doesn't exist, I get an error instead of unwanted file creation.

You are doing this from a command line, and you have a working directory for that command line (on your local machine), this is the directory that your file will be downloaded to. The final argument in your command is only what you want the name of the file to be. So, first, change directory to where you want the file to land. I'm doing this from git bash on a Windows machine, so it looks like this:
cd C:\Users\myUserName\Downloads
Now that I have my working directory where I want the file to go:
scp -i 'c:\Users\myUserName\.ssh\AWSkeyfile.pem' ec2-user@xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/ec2-user/IwantThisFile.tar IgotThisFile.tar
Or, in your case, (that is with the VERY strong password you must be using):
cd ~/Desktop
scp name@website.com:/path/to/somefile.zip somefile.zip
