is there something wrong with this scp command ?

scp -C -i ./remoteServerKey.ppk -r /var/www/* [email protected]:/var/www

I use the same .ppk as in putty and enter the same passphrase, but it asks me 3 times and than says connection denied. I thought I used it before and it worked, but it isn´t atm. If it is wrong, how should I do it ?

or you can also do ( for pem file )

 scp -r -i file.pem [email protected]:/home/backup /home/user/Desktop/
