Can't scp file from server to host
0
After logging into a server (running linux) via ssh, I am trying to copy a file from said server to my host machine which runs windows 10. I try the command:scp <userID>@<server.name>:/path/to/server/file /path/to/host/dir but I get a connection timeout error every time. I am able to copy a file from my host to server with no problems but I can't seem to do the other way around (server to host). Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Note: these commands are being run in cmd on my host if that makes any difference.

"After logging into a server (running linux) via ssh" and "these commands are being run in cmd on my host" seem contradictory to me: if you are executing thescpinside thesshshell, then it is running on the remote server. If you want to "pull" a file from the server to the Windows host, you can use a Windows client such as WinSCP

thanks to comment of @steeldriver – I'm thinking about it again. So you've logged from your windows machine to some linux machine on which you're running scp which is trying to retrieve files from your windows machine? Is the<server.name>from your question even running sshd or other ssh daemon?

Ok I'll try and clarify. My host machine is windows 10. I am using cmd to login into a server that runs linux. Once I am in the server, I usescpto try and send a file from the server to my host machine.
