title: Transferring files from windows to linux box with pscp
body: <p>I am trying to transfer a directory to a linux box I have set up.  I use putty to ssh in and the prompt is open and working. </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to get a directory from my host computer(windows) on to the linux box which is open through putty.  </p>
  
  <p>I have tried many threads on here but none are solving my problem so thought I would ask for new attention.</p>
  
  <p>I Opened a command prompt on my windows computer and typed the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pscp C:\Users\user\projects\Locust_Automation rbed2-user@ip-11-34-12-45:~/Dir
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>I changed names of things to protect info</em></p>
  
  <p>This is giving me the error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>ssh_init: Host does not exist
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>To be very clear what I am trying to do:  I want to get a directory off my windows computer onto a Linux box that I am connected to through putty.</p>
