title: adb pull file in a specific folder of Pc
body: <p>I want to save the screenshot created, in a specific folder on my PC.</p>
  
  <pre><code>cmd = 'adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png'
  subprocess.Popen(cmd.split())
  time.sleep(5)  
  cmd ='adb pull /sdcard/screen.png screen.png'
  subprocess.Popen(cmd.split()) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works if I want the image in my workspace. But if I want to pull the screenshot in another folder, it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>cmd ='adb pull /sdcard/screen.png C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\prova\screen.png'
  subprocess.Popen(cmd.split())
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>if i run the command from cmd i have:

                                      the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the package
                                      list is optional.  Applications explicitly given on the
                                      command line will be included even if -nosystem would
                                      ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)
  
    adb restore &lt;file&gt;           - restore device contents from the &lt;file&gt; backup archive

   [parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns
  
  adb sync notes: adb sync [ &lt;directory&gt; ]
    &lt;localdir&gt; can be interpreted in several ways:
  
    - If &lt;directory&gt; is not specified, both /system and /data partitions will be updated.
  
    - If it is "system" or "data", only the corresponding partition
      is updated.
  
  environmental variables:
    ADB_TRACE                    - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values
                                   1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp
    ANDROID_SERIAL               - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority over this if given.
    ANDROID_LOG_TAGS             - When used with the logcat option, only these debug tags are printed.
