scp or pscp transfer files to ssh machine but not showing any copied files in machine

Question

I am using putty ssh client in windows to login to remote machine

I transfer files using scp and pscp from my local to server

scp:

scp -r script-1/ root@104.130.169.111:/mounarajan/script-1

Response in command line:

artist_dedup_urls1                            100%  414KB 413.8KB/s   00:00    
reverbnation_crawler.py                       100%   21KB  21.0KB/s   00:00

pscp:

pscp -r script-1/ root@104.130.169.111:/mounarajan/script-1

Response in command line:

artist_dedup_urls1        | 413 kB | 413.8 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%
reverbnation_crawler.py   | 21 kB |  21.0 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%

But after this the script-1 folder in server machine is empty.

Where is the problem actaully?

But the problem is there is not script - 2 directory but if i give mounarajan/script-2/ that also works....but it should not work actually — Mounarajan, May 28 '15 at 04:47
What is script-2 directory. As per your command script-1 directory shall be created in your server **inside** `mounarajan/script-1/` — Prabhu, May 28 '15 at 04:51
ok the file transfer is successful in command line but i could not see any files in server? — Mounarajan, May 28 '15 at 04:55

Did you deleted the "script-1" on 104.130.169.111 before? Your situation seems to be the same as this scenario:

On command window 1: cd to certain directory, say "a/b/c"
On another window: delete "a/b/c", recreate it and copy in some files
On command window 1: no change can be seen.

Solution is: on command window 1, cd to another directory and then cd back to "a/b/c" again to access the newly created directory
