title: How to move file from Windows local machine to Linux remote server
body: <p>I'm new to working with a remote server.
  I am trying to get a file to be copied from my local machine (Windows 10) to a Ubuntu server. I'm using ssh with PuTTY.</p>
  
  <p>What I try to do is this:<br>
  <code>scp D:\USER\Desktop\test.txt username@server:home</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>I get :</strong></p>
  
  <p><code>ssh: Could not resolve hostname d: Name or service not known</code></p>
  
  <p>So I tried a couple of other things such as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>scp Desktop/test.txt username@server:home
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Which returns:</strong> </p>
  
  <p><code>Desktop/test.txt: No such file or directory</code></p>
  
  <p>Of course, there is an existing text file test.txt in my desktop.</p>
  
  <p>I have the feeling I can't work out how to format the Windows path... </p>
