I tried to copy a file from one linux server to another Linux server using the below command
scp sampleweb.rar pavan@50.45.555.90 /
It gave me this error under putty console .
cp: cannot create regular file `/sampleweb.rar': Permission denied
cp: cannot create regular file `/pavan@50.45.555.90': Permission denied

Without the colon,
scpasssumes this is a local copy, and falls back tocpon the local machine, as indicated by your error messages.
