从 Linux 到 Windows 的 scp：'C:\\Program' 无法识别错误

Question

In my linux machine, I'm trying to send a file over to a Windows machine via:

scp fileNameA user@windowServer:fileNameA 

I get the following message:

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

What's prompting this message?

I've installed OpenSSH on the windows machine, and I can successfully SSH into it. I don't want to use WinSCP, FileZilla, etc, because I have to automate this in a script. This has to be done from the Linux machine, so I'm not interested in doing pscp from the Windows machine.

Answer 1

I have met the same problem today.

I think it is an issue in the new version of OpenSSH, which was published few days ago. I reverted previous version (v7.6.1.0p1-Beta), which was working correctly on my VM from https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases and problem was fixed without any changes in configuration.

Answer 2

I just fixed the same problem by moving my installation of OpenSSH from C:\\Program Files\\OpenSSH to C:\\OpenSSH .

I had to first uninstall it properly using the provided script in Win32-OpenSSH and then follow back the information provided there https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/wiki/Install-Win32-OpenSSH but only changing the path to C:\\OpenSSH.

I met a similar issue today, trying to copy files to a Windows server running OpenSSH-Win64 . I solved the problem by adding C:\\Program Files\\OpenSSH , which is the recommended installation location, to the Windows path:

1. Open the Control Panel , go to the System and Security section and open up System .
2. Click on Advanced System Settings and, in the System Properties dialog box, click Environmental Variables .
3. In the System Variables section of the dialog box, select Path and click Edit... .
4. Click New , add the OpenSSH folder path and click OK to apply the change.

Then, do not forget to restart the OpenSSH service, either in the service management console or by running net stop sshd , followed by net start sshd in an elevated console.
