what's wrong with this line??

[Anon]

system("scp -pw password -r user@".$server.":/directory/".$browser."/* " .$destination.");

I think the * makes something strange... I tried to escape it using \ but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

/ Thanks

From the looks of the man page on scp, you cant use wild cards. What error are you getting? Have you tried just using echo to see what is created, then paste it into a telnet screen.

If its the case that wildcards are now allowed, you might have to read the directory using opendir(), readdir() and closedir().

You does not terminate your string correctly.

Add a " last inside () or remove the last ."

Ie:
".$destination.""); or
".$destination);
