title: Using putty to scp from windows to Linux
body: <p>I'm trying to test some C code that I'm writing. The only issue is that the code needs to be executed on a remote machine. 
  My laptop is pretty old, and there is no driver for my wireless card available for Ubuntu, so booting into Linux to circumvent this problem isn't an option. 
  Here's my question: </p>
  
  <p>I'm using putty to SSH into the remote machine, and I'm writing my code on Notepad++.
  The location of my file is:
       <code>C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c</code></p>
  
  <p>My problem is that when I use the command <code>scp C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c ~</code>
  I get the error <code>could not resolve hostname C:. Name or service not known".</code></p>
  
  <p>I've also tried <code>scp Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c ~</code> which gives me the error <code>Cannot stat 'Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c': no such file or directory</code></p>
  
  <p>What am I doing incorrectly?</p>
