id is the login ID you use for the server, server = ip address. – Pavan Yalamanchili May 10 '11 at 07:23

scp -r C:/site user@server_ip:path
path is the place, where site will be copied into the remote server
EDIT: As I said in my comment, try pscp, as you want to use scp using PuTTY.
The other option is WinSCP

Can you paste here the whole command, that you use (without user/pass, put *** in their place (: ) – Kiril Kirov May 10 '11 at 07:41

@THOmas - remove the space after `:`. It must be: `scp -r C:/site *****@$$$$$:/var/www/newfolder` – Kiril Kirov May 10 '11 at 07:49

try `ls -la C:/site` to see if this will show something or this location does not exiests. What is you OS? Looks like `unix` base to me, because of the slash ( `/` ), but if so, you don't have `C:/` in linux. – Kiril Kirov May 10 '11 at 08:00

I think you should use WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php) and I'm not sure, that PuTTY can do this. – Kiril Kirov May 10 '11 at 08:13

Thank Kiril Kirov.. I have used winscp for copying files ..I am trying to use Putty... :) – Warrior May 10 '11 at 08:15

OOh, I get it. OK then, change `scp` to `pscp` and try again. If this don't work, I can't help you anymore, as I have used PuTTY very little. – Kiril Kirov May 10 '11 at 08:20
