This post shows how to transfer a folder from a remote Windows to a local Linux. In particular, this command:
scp -r username@hostname:/path/from/remote /path/to/local
My remote machine is a Windows 11 with a username having space like this nice guy. This is my attempt:
scp -r "nice guy"@xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:\C:\path\to\folder /home/linux_username/Downloads
But I get an error:
nice guy: Invalid username
How do I escape the space in the Windows username?
