Getting "Command not found" when using pscp command

I am transferring a project folder to AWS instance using PuTTY pscp.

I am able to connect using .ppk public keys file and ssh command opened successfully and logged-in.

Here I am using command to transfer folder:

pscp -r -i C:\path-to-my-keys\converted-pem-keys.ppk d:\MyDevelopment\myproj ec2-user@xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/ec2-user/myproj

It shows:

 pscp: Command not found.

Path to PuTTY folder is set in Environment variables. Any idea?

Solution

  • "Command not found" is a common *nix shell error message. What indicates that you probably type the pscp command in PuTTY (remote) terminal.

    But pscp is Windows application. You have to type your pscp command in (local) Windows console (cmd.exe or PowerShell).
