Hey all,
I'm trying to copy configuration files from my old CentOS 6.6 32 bit machine to my new CentOS 6.6 64 bit machine.
<snip>
scp -pr mlapier@192.168.15.105: /home/mlapier/.thunderbird /home/mlapier/.thunderbird
<snip>
Putting the source path in quotes, because of the dot, like this:
scp -pr mlapier@192.168.15.105:"/home/mlapier/.thunderbird" /home/mlapier
worked.

Assuming the examples have been accurately copied, then the problem is an extra space. The first example is trying to copy mlapier@192.168.15.105: to /home/mlapier/.thunderbird (with the third parameter /home/mlapier/.thunderbird ignored). The successful example is trying to copy mlapier@192.168.15.105:"/home/mlapier/.thunderbird" to /home/mlapier which is what I assume you intended.
