cannot use wildcards with scp_download #53
Description
Problem
I am trying to use scp_download() to download files matching a pattern from a remote server, but somehow it does not interpret wildcrads in the target argument and claims that the file does not exists. I verified that the file exists and that scp_download() works.
I am using Rstudio Version 1.4.1717 on Windows 10 and connect to a remote server running arch linux.
What ive tried
Command in bash:
$ scp [email protected]:/home/licor/data/summaries/2021-* .Output:
2021-07-23_smart3-00545_EP-Summary.txt 100% 31KB 257.0KB/s 00:00
2021-07-24_smart3-00545_EP-Summary.txt 100% 67KB 368.1KB/s 00:00
2021-07-25_smart3-00545_EP-Summary.txt 100% 67KB 430.0KB/s 00:00
Command in R
scp_download(session,"/home/licor/data/summaries/",to = temp_path_name)Output:
