Hi, I use this command to copy all files whose names start with 'file' from a server. scp -vp me@server:/location/files* ./

But i got a 'No Match' error. probably Concerning the '' in the command. How can i protect the '' for ssh to understand that this refers to a list of files and not taking it as a filename.

Thx August
