scp download from server?

[mr.popper]

Is it possible to transfer files from an ssh server down to the local computer via scp? If so, what is the syntax? If not, how can I download files from an ssh server?

Thanks,

am trying to use putty, and trying to scp a file down from an ssh server on Mandrake.

I typed:

scp user@remote:/home/fred/file.o "C:\"

I get these errors:

Could not create directory '/var/www/html/.ssh'.
Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/var/www/html/.ssh/known_hosts).

user@server's password:(I typed my password here)

ssh: C: Name or service not known
lost connection


scp work when I was on Fedora Core 3, but I can't get it to work on Windows PuTTy. Is my syntax wrong?

Download pscp, and put it in \Windows\System32\scp

Then open cmd, and scp ....

Or use winscp (winscp.sf.net) - gives a nice win32 gui to scp
