Hard to Resolve: - "SCP copies files successfully, but files are not displayed on the local computer"

Question

I want to upload a file from a server to a local Linux machine. I use the following command

scp -r username@remote:/path/to/folder /dest/local/path

The file is successfully transferred, but the file is not displayed in my local folder. What is wrong with me?

Thank.

Answer 1

We cannot say “what's wrong with you” (your words), but there are a few things you can check:

• Is this the folder you copied (or files)? Does the name begin with a dot ( .somefile)?
• When you search for local files, do you use the file manager? Then you should try to update the view.

• : ls -al /dest/local/path?
