SCPException Protocol not available while getting from Windows

[sankalpanand]

I'm trying to get a file from Windows 10 with OpenSSH running to my Macbook. I'm getting the following error whereas the same command works fine on my terminal.

This works fine -
scp labuser@172.28.131.71:C:/Users/labuser/ScreenCaptureUtil/Screenshots/Thanos.png /Users/skynet/Downloads/Temporary/

This doesn't work -

ssh = createSSHClient(my_ip, 22, "labuser", "P@ssword1")
scp = SCPClient(ssh.get_transport())
scp.get(r"C:\Users\labuser\ScreenCaptureUtil\Screenshots\Thanos.png", r"/Users/skynet/Downloads/Temporary")

Gives me the exception-

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/skynet/Documents/code/ScratchPad/Paramiko.py", line 14, in <module>
    scp.get(r"C:\Users\labuser\ScreenCaptureUtil\Screenshots\Thanos.png", r"/Users/skynet/Downloads/Temporary")

Seems like some kind of quoting issue. Do you mind sharing what kind of server you're using on the Windows side?

Yes, its the OpenSSH one shipped with the latest Windows.

This is the output -

sshd -V
