pscp, more than one remote source not supported

Could someone tell me why this is giving the error please?

Copying from Windows to Unix.

C:\Windows>pscp.exe e:\onbase\outgoing\fa\file.txt user@server.utk.edu:/data/banint/DocMgmt/kbande/in/Fav/file.txt -pw password
More than one remote source not supported

Eventually I need:

C:\Windows>pscp.exe e:\onbase\outgoing\fa\*.txt user@server.utk.edu:/data/banint/DocMgmt/kbande/in/Fav/ -pw password

(i.e., with a *.txt wildcard in the source parameter and a directory name as the destination). I can't even get a single file to copy. I do have two other scheduled tasks copying from Unix to the same Windows server using pscp and they work fine.

Why won't this work?

Like nearly all commandline programs on both Windows and Unix, you need to put option arguments, in this case -pw passwd, BEFORE operand arguments, in this case the local and remote (or vice versa) filenames. – dave_thompson_085 – 2017-04-25T21:23:47.313

I had it that way originally, then it prompts me for the password after the command. – Jsmith – 2017-04-25T21:35:55.947

Did it say Access denied first and then prompt for password? If so the one you gave on the command line was sent but was rejected by the server. – dave_thompson_085 – 2017-04-26T01:37:15.620
