I have backup all my website files to a zip folder from cpanel. Now I want to download this zip folder to my local drive. I searched on internet and found command line code scp but its not working for me. 

scp [email protected]:file.zip D:/

I am currently in public_html directory using SSH.

    Looks like you're on a Windows host, why not just use WinSCP?

  • scp command as such won't work on Windows. You can use WinSCP for GUI interface, or if you prefer command line utility, go for pscp which is very similar in usage to scp.

Check this tutorial, it's very well explained

scp command line to securely copy files over ssh, between Linux, Mac or Windows

Examples:

scp *.txt [email protected]:/home/user/ That is going to copy all files with .txt extension to the folder /home/user in the remote.server.com host

scp -r [email protected]:/home/user/ [email protected]:/home/user/

It seems like you are using windows, so you should have a look at winscp (http://winscp.net/), which is a graphical interface for scp.

If you want to use a command-line from windows then you could give pscp a try from the putty toolkit.
