How to transfer files from Linux to Windows Xp?

[ygao]

Hi all,

I want to copy a file from a Linux machine to my local computer which is a PC with windows xp. I guess the command I should use is "scp". But how should I write the location of the destination file name.

Should it be like
scp /folder/file username@xxx.xx.xx.xx: and then what?

I just do not know how to specify the file location in my local computer.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello ygao,

Are you running an SSH server on your Windows PC?

Assuming you are, you can specify the destination path by appending the path after the server name, like this:

scp /folder/file username@xxx.xx.xx.xx:/destination/path
