Copying from Pyboard to C drive with rshell

[kbrenner]

In the online tutorials, it is clear how to copy a file from the C drive to a Pyboard when using rshell:

cp main.py /pyboard/main.py

However, how do you go the opposite direction and copy a file from a Pyboard to the C drive? I have tried the following syntax but have been receiving the following error:

cp main.py /C:/Users/<username>/Documents/main.py

OSERror: [Errno 22] Invalid argument : '/C:/Users/<username>/Documents/main.py'

maybe:

cp /pyboard/main.py main.py

Under windows, / will be the root of the current drive.

So you have 2 options. When you launch rshell, the current directory will be the directory that you were in when you launched. You could then use:

Code: Select all

cp /pyboard/main.py main.py

or if you had already changed the current directory to say /pyboard:

Code: Select all

cd /pyboard
cp main.py /Users/<username>/Documents/main.py

I don't think that rshell deals well with spaces in the filenames or directory names.

Thanks, Dave. Your second option worked just fine. I think the issue was including the /C: prefix for the destination file location.
