Answer a question

I want to do SCP from Windows Jenkins node to Linux server. In this set up, Windows machine is a Jenkins slave and the target server where i want to copy is Linux.

Below is my Jenkins pipeline script. Before the below script runs, i am cloning the repository and then building the project which finally creates a .jar file. I want to copy this file to Linux server.

stage('SCP JAR file') {
    steps {
             bat 'scp /c/Jenkins/workspace/migration/test-project/build/libs/ssupservice-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar rxp096p@server:/home/rxp096p/testing'
          }
     }
}

My working directory is /c/Jenkins/workspace/migration/test-project/. Inside the given directory, build/libs folder gets created where the required .jar file is present.

Running above script gives the following error:

/c/Jenkins/workspace/migration/test-project/build/libs/ssupservice-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar: No such file or directory

Give this a shot:

pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('SCP JAR file') {
            steps {
                bat '"c:\\Program Files\\git\\usr\\bin\\scp.exe" -i "c:\\Users\\tom\\.ssh\\azure\\id_rsa" C:\\Users\\tom\\.jenkins\\workspace\\scp-to-linux\\abc.jar tom@xy.xyz.xy.xz:abc.jar'
                bat '"c:\\Program Files\\git\\usr\\bin\\ssh.exe" -i "c:\\Users\\tom\\.ssh\\azure\\id_rsa" tom@xy.xyz.xy.xz ls -ltr'
            }
        }
    }
}

Note: While doing scp, if you do not specify the destination file name, it will create file on remote server with the complete source path name. For example, in my case, it would have created file with the name C:\Users\tom\.jenkins\workspace\scp-to-linux\abc.jar on remote server had i not specified this syntax: tom@xy.xyz.xy.xz:abc.jar
