target
The filename or directory to put the file(s). When copying from a remote server to a local host, you may wish simply to place the file(s) in the current directory. To do this, you should specify a target of .
. For example:
pscp fred@example.com:/home/tom/.emacs .
...would copy /home/tom/.emacs
on the remote server to the current directory.
As with the source
parameter, if the target is on a remote server and is not a full path name, it is interpreted relative to your home directory on the remote server.
