Whats Wrong with my code? PSCP transfer folder to remote

[goodbyeplanet]

;run pscp.exe in the folder with script
RunWait("pscp.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
sleep(5000)

;set PATH variable.  Assign path with putty.exe
RunWait("set PATH=" & @ScriptDir & "putty")
sleep(5000)

;do the final bit where directory is tranferred from local to remote
RunWait("pscp " & "-r" & "-pw" & $pass & @ScriptDir & $user & "@"  & $host & ":" & $dest )

The above runs without any error but nothing happens except some dos windows that flicker here and there but nothing is transferred.  where could i be going wrong? some pointers would be appreciated.  Thanks. P.S.  the variables are coming from an input box that assigns to declared variables. I have tested the variables with msgbox messages and they are ok.  the destination path is /documents/desktop

@ScriptDir & "putty") @scriptdir Only includes a trailing backslash when the script is located in the root of a drive. @ScriptDir & "\putty")

RunWait("pscp.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)

;set PATH variable(improved version)
EnvSet("PATH", @ScriptDir & "\putty.exe")
Local $path = EnvGet("PATH")
;test to make sure the variable has correct path
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The environment variable %PATH% has the value of: " & @CRLF & @CRLF & $path)
;try to copy folder
RunWait("pscp " & "-r" & "-pw" & $pass & @ScriptDir & $user & "@"  & $host & ":" & $dest )

Thanks careca.  I tried but still no luck.  I also used the above to make sure my PATH variable is ok but still no luck. One more information that I didnt give is that when I do it manually the dos command prompt should not be closed at all.  If it does then nothing works and i hv to start afresh.  If i can find some way to keep the dos window open then that might help I think.

I'm thinking you need some spaces in the command line in the RunWait function. This is what the runwait funtion is seeing as the command to run.

Global $pass = "123456", $user = "Me", $host = "somecomputer", $dest = "someothercomputer"
;~ RunWait("pscp " & "-r" & "-pw" & $pass & @ScriptDir & $user & "@"  & $host & ":" & $dest )
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : "pscp " & "-r" & "-pw" & $pass & @ScriptDir & $user & "@"  & $host & ":" & $dest = ' & "pscp " & "-r" & "-pw" & $pass & @ScriptDir & $user & "@"  & $host & ":" & $dest & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

RunWait('"' & @ComSpec & '" /k ' & "pscp " & "-r" &" "& @ScriptDir &" "& $user & "@"  & $host & ":" & $dest )

Thank you BrewManNH.  I didnt realise it was such a small mistake.  It definitely connects now to my remote server and gives an authentication confirmation.  My problem now is that its saying no such file or directory.  I am confused about the syntax of the target folders on linux server.  currently i have tried documents/destination/   and /documents/destination but its not working.  would be great if somebody can help with syntax of the destination.  Alternatively I would alsoappreciate some pointers as to how I can put more thann one dos command in a single variable and execute the command on one dos instance.  If that is possible then I am sure all will work.  Thanks.

Ok thank you everybody.  All is working now.  I realised my problem was my source folder.  Its name had a space and i guess that confused linux.  Thanks for your help.   you are all stars.  Goodnight and greetings from Wales.
