title: how to transfer file using winscp console from remote windows 8 server to linux server
body: <p>I am currently connected to a windows server. I installed winscp on it. I run the winscp and connect to a linux server. Now on the gui of the winscp, i clicked the console, and use the scp command. the file on the remote server is C:\xampp\htdocs\android\files\file.txt now i want to transfer it to my linux server. Im planning to automate this using an application like python. but the problem is my code is incorrect. to be honest i dont really get it. so please guide me.</p>
  
  <p>here is what im trying to do.</p>
  
  <pre><code>scp C:\xampp\htdocs\android\files\file.txt remote_server_ip_add@linux_ip_add:/home
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i dont know if this is correct. it's just not working.</p>
  
  <p>the username of the remoteserver for example is "Remote_server". and the user name of the linux server for example is "linux_Server". </p>
  
  <p>should it be like this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>scp C:\xampp\htdocs\android\files\file.txt remote_server@linux_server:/home
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i also got this error</p>
  
  <pre><code>C: node name or service name not known
  </code></pre>
