Correct syntax for RPi scp file copy

Thanks for the quick reply. I am getting a "access denied". I have tried to start with the sudo -i to get into admin mode as well but it still says the "access denied". It asks for the password of the user: pi which I am typing in. It is the same as the one I use to Putty into but still get the error.

Are you sure you have the correct account?  Do you need to be root to reach the file and folder?

I don't know. I have tried excalating it and not. Both give me a deny. The only account I am told this app has is pi.

What account do you use to ssh to he Raspberry Pi?  Are you able to get to that file with that account when you ssh to the system?
Maybe you need the full path?

pi is the only account I use. I ssh with Pi

Along with this, I had to change the sudo password.

1. Enable the SSH login via root directly: change the password for the root user while SSH’d in as pi (sudo passwd root), then modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config with PermitRootLogin yes (sudo mc -e /etc/ssh/sshd_config). Finally restart ssh (sudo systemctl restart ssh).
2. Copy your files: scp /path/to/my/local/files/* root@RASPBERRY_IP:/usr/lib/rs/imgs/
3. Restart Raspberry Slideshow while in as root: systemctl restart rs

Actually, it's less secure to ssh to root with a password.  You should have just used ssh keys instead.

I understand and thank you. This is on a closed network for signage in our local building. Thank you.
