Two minuets ago i scp'ed a file to my n900 ran it it worked. I then went to console on my phone and proceeded to delete it i got permission denied. so i typed root went back to the location and rm removed it. I then went back to my scratchbox and attempted to scp the file again i know get this error.

[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~/proxyswitcher-0.1.orig/src] > scp root@192.168.0.4:/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/proxy-switcher proxy-switcher
root@192.168.0.4's password:
scp: /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/proxy-switcher: No such file or directory


could any body help.and yes the build is in the src folder.

That command is attempting to copy from your N900 (192.168.0.4) to scratchbox, but you said you'd deleted the file from your N900, ergo "file not found". To copy from scratchbox to your N900, try:

scp proxy-switcher root@192.168.0.4:/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/proxy-switcher

have you got the source and destination the wrong way around in the scp command?

omg i am a fool i should have guessed. wired tho i thought it worked last time but i must have copyed it back to my computer like you guys said. as i had previously used winscp in windows to copy one over. but decided that i should just use the scp in ubuntu.
