linux - Hard to Resolve :- "SCP copies files successfully, but files not visible in local computer" -

i want download file server local linux machine. using following command

scp -r username@remote:/path/to/folder /dest/local/path

file transfer;but in local folder file doesn't see. what's wrong me?

thanks.

we cannot "what wrong you" (your words), there number of things might want check:

is folder copied (or files) hidden? name start dot (.somefile)?
when "looking local files", use file manager? should try refresh view.
when using graphical file manager, filters set might hide files?
what command output: ls -al /dest/local/path?
what type of resource /dest/local/path? ordinary folder inside locally mounted partition or else?
for real paranoid amongst us: scp command that? path, package belong to? checked that?
what happens if try transfer files using same commands? warning files getting overwritten?

and finally: tried adding -v flag (verbose mode) additional information during transfer?
