From: pdenize Date: 2009-04-30T07:15:02+09:00 Subject: Net::SCP download recursive The recursive documentation suggests that :recursive - the remote parameter refers to a remote directory, which should be downloaded to a new directory named local on the local machine. So I copied "/pub/temp" to "C:\TEMP" If temp had one file /pub/temp/file, the copy results in a file at C: \TEMP\temp\file, shouldn't it have been C:\TEMP\file This is what command line scp would have done.
