Sending file through ssh2, scp

Question

I need to send a copy from server1 to server2 using ssh2. Both are using ubuntu, and I'm trying sending it with the scp command:

scp test.txt userName@server2_direction:/folder_destination

But I'm getting an error:

test.txt: No such file or directory

I tried putting the complete url: /users/asd/my_user/folder/test.txt, but it doesn't work either.

Any hints?

Answer 1

You are in the wrong directory on the source computer. Check if there is test.txt in the current directory.

$ ls -l test.txt
