Well, it looks as if I'm giving my fair share of questions on this list;
don't think I'm not trying. I've been pretty much working non-stop. I do
appreciate all the help

Here's my problem:

Just a little obvious thing.

shane@shane:/home/shane > scp shane@caffeine:/etc/pass* .
shane@caffeine's password: 
warning: No wildcard expansions found for '/etc/pass*'.

There IS an /etc/passwd on that machine, but it is not recieving the
file. I'm using ssh2, and have used any number of quotation marks and
have tried escaping.

The wildcards I've tried and the syntax:


shane@shane:/home/shane > scp shane@caffeine:"/etc/pass*" .
shane@shane:/home/shane > scp shane@caffeine:/etc/pass\* .
shane@shane:/home/shane > scp "shane@caffeine:/etc/pass*" .

Am I doing this wrong? the scp man page says it's correct, is there any
way to use wildcards?

Thank you,

 -Shane
