title: scp from Linux to Windows
body: <p>I am running a putty client on a Windows machine to connect successfully to a Linux box. Now I want to be able to copy a file from the Linux machine under the path <code>/home/ubuntu/myfile</code> to <code>C:/Users/Anshul/Desktop</code> on my local computer. The user at the Windows machine is <code>anshul</code>. I am giving the following command on putty but it is not working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>scp /home/ubuntu/myfile ip_address_of_windows_machine:C:/Users/Anshul/Desktop 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think the path for the Windows machine is wrong. Please help as I have banged my head on a large number of forums but none seem to give correct path for Windows server. Don't suggest alternate options like <code>WinScp</code></p>
