I am trying to transfer one zip file from a linux based machine to a Windows based using SCP.

I can go through the transfer ok but when it completes it says "No space left on device".

The destination of the share has a LOT of free space. I am transferring a file of around 5 gig but theres several hundred gig free on the share.

I was thinking it might be an issue thh directory paths. On the windows server box the share would be c:\folder when I use SCP in linux I use /folder.

Hope this makes sense.

I always use Winscp to use scp on windows and never had a problem.

In addition could you provide the command and program you are running?

CentOS scp -v /backup/site/file.gz admin@IPADDRESS:/folder I beleive it is winscp on the windows box – Tyler Jul 27 '12 at 14:12

And what daemon is running on windows to accept this? – Lucas Kauffman Jul 27 '12 at 14:14
Also, why not just go on the windows machine and pull it with winscp? – Lucas Kauffman Jul 27 '12 at 14:20
I'm pretty sure that Windows doesn't have a native SCP implementation. That's a rather key piece of information, to be honest. If you aren't running an SSH service with SCP, you're stuck until you sort that out. – Adrian Jul 27 '12 at 15:19

Just a guess but: Check if the server to which you want to copy the file have enough space on C drive for this file. It is possible that the receiver is placing the file in the temp directory where it is attaching the rest of the file parts during the transfer...

Also check if correct permission has been set, both to the share and NTFS. If the deamon have rights to write.

Check if there is a per user quota implemented on the drive/share.

Yes, that drive has over 100gig free. The file I am transferring is around 5gig – Tyler Jul 27 '12 at 14:15
did you checked if correct NTFS permission has been set? Is the deamon which is handling the transfer has the write/modify/delete permissions? Is this a windows server? If yes - is there a quota implemented per user? – mnmnc Jul 27 '12 at 14:18
