"-r" is "Recursively copy entire directories." Are you sure ~/classes/cs215/projects exists? Is it a directory? Does ./cs215/projects exist? What happens when you try to scp a single file? I usually tar up the whole dir structure and scp the archive. Try that. At least it'll tell you whether scp works at all. If it does, then your syntax above is incorrect. On babbage: mkdir ~/archive tar czf ~/archive/projects.tgz ~classes/cs215/projects Then "scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/archive/projects.tgz ." -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
