I know that is a popular subject but I can not find the right solution for my problem. On my pc I use scp and ssh with OpenWrt firmware, usually I use Debian or linux mint without any problem, but I did a fresh install and I got problem now with my firmware config back up. Here what I use since 2 years without any problem.

# openwrt_backup # Create tar_main ssh [email protected] sysupgrade -b /tmp/backup-main-$(date +%F).tar.gz # Copy to local dir scp -O [email protected]:/tmp/backup-*.tar.gz james@ninja:/run/media/james/E/openWrt_backup/

The problem is right now that after the second command, transfert the backup to my local pc, nothing happens:

james@ninja:~> scp -O [email protected]:/tmp/backup-*.tar.gz james@ninja:/run/media/james/E/openWrt_backup/ james@ninja:~> # empty answer??

Idea? thanks

  • Why do you use james@ninja for the local system? What is the output of scp -v -O '[email protected]:/tmp/backup-*.tar.gz' /run/media/james/E/openWrt_backup/ Commented Feb 14 at 16:19
  • @HaukeLaging I added the output on my main post (edited) Commented Feb 14 at 16:33

    The output shows that the file has been copied. Why would you scp into the same user on the same system? Does not make sense. Commented Feb 14 at 16:40

  • Wildcards for an application (instead of for the shell) should always be quoted.
  • Avoid user@host for a local path.
scp -O '[email protected]:/tmp/backup-*.tar.gz' /run/media/james/E/openWrt_backup/
