title: path to local file using ssh command to upload directory to remote server?
body: <p>I'm trying to upload a folder from my local machine to a remote server using putty command.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to copy a folder and subfolder using this syntax</p>
  
  <pre><code>scp -r [file/folder to be copied] some_user@my_ip:[destination_folder]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can login ok and run the command but get an error to the local path ?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried different paths to the local folder ie. <code>c:/folder/folder</code> - /folder/folder etc but i get an error saying no such file or directory exists - so I'm asking what is the correct path to include if the folder you want to copy is on your local machine - <code>c:/documents/upload/folder</code></p>
