Hello, I am trying to copy a file and following the above working suggestion, however, it failed here, please see the screenshot.

First time:

scp C/RXIE/Learning/Github/spark-master/examples/src/main/python/streaming/kafka_wordcount.py root@localhost:/root

Second time:

scp C:/RXIE/Learning/Github/spark-master/examples/src/main/python/streaming/kafka_wordcount.py root@localhost:/root

How do I fix it? Thank you very much.

scp  C/RXIE/Learning/Github/spark-master/examples/src/main/python/streaming/kafka_wordcount.py [email protected]:/root
