Make sure your backslashes don't generate tab characters. Use single quotes or escape the backlashes with extra backslash.

I am using Net::SCP to download/upload file. I am doing like this...

----
require 'net/scp'
session = Net::SCP.start("10.10.10.10", "username", :password =>
"password", :config => false)
sess.download! "/tmp/test.txt", "/root/"
----

It works well when the source machine is linux and path is like
"/tmp/test.txt". What if the source machine is Windows? My path would be
something like "C:\temp\test.txt" but it does not work. It throws error
"No such file or directory". Any idea how can I do that?

Also, the password I give in the start function above is in plain text.
How can I encrypt it and pass it with the function?

Thanks much,
-Kalpesh

Thanks for the response. I wanted to know if I can use windows like
path in SCP or not. Can I use something like “sess.download!
’C:\myfile.jpg’, ‘/root/’”? In fact, I tried this but it does not work.
Any idea?
