Cygwin SSH to read subfolders and files
by misurex2 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52FVQ)
Hello,
From Centos7 I'm connecting to Windows 10, through SSH, to read and then save to a file (on Linux) all the content of a certain directory, meaning sub-directories and their files.
I created a bash file like this:
Code:#!/bin/sh
rm -f /media/my_file.txt
HOST="MY-PC"
ssh user@$HOST "dir H:/Documents /s /a /b">> /media/my_file.txtThe problem is that cygwin give those errors:
dir: cannot access '/a': No such file or directory
dir: cannot access '/s': No such file or directory
dir: cannot access '/b': No such file or directory
NOTE: I already can read without problems the hardware information of the mentioned pc, so it's not a SSH problem.
I tried all sort of variants(like putting the command in a variable, commenting the slash, adding simple quotes, replace the slashes by hyphens), but nothing worked. Please guide me through this.
Thank you.
