Copying a folder from one server to another using scp

Question

I am using PuTTY. I am trying to copy a folder from one server to another server in Linux. But I am getting this error on to the PuTTY console as

myfolder: Not a regular file 

Is it possible to copy a folder using scp?

It worked on a zip file when I tried it earlier on.

Answer 1

Try scp -r. It should do the trick.
