I am using PSCP to upload some files from Windows to Linux. I can do it fine just uploading one file at a time. But I have some very large directories and I want to upload an entire directory at once.
I have tried:
pscp -i C:\sitedeploy\abt-keypair.ppk includes\* root@mysite.com:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes/*
Throws error: "pscp: remote filespec /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes/*: not a directory"
and
pscp -i C:\sitedeploy\abt-keypair.ppk includes\ root@mysite.com:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes/
Throws error: "scp: includes: not a regular file"
and
pscp -i C:\sitedeploy\abt-keypair.ppk includes root@mysite.com:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes
Throws error: "scp: includes: not a regular file"

Two problems: First, the * does not go on the destination side. Second,
-r
is for copying an entire directory and subdirectories.Will copy all of the files in the local
includes\
directory to the.../includes/
directory on the server.Will copy the
includes\
directory itself, including all files and subdirectories, to the.../ROOT/
directory on the server (where the contents of the local directory would merge with any existing.../ROOT/includes/
directory.
