It can be a direct change to the command or a suggestion in case the original command does not work. Here are both versions for convenience.

Previous: scp dcuser@ec2-34-224-214-69.compute-1.amazonaws.com:~/dc_workshop/results/fastqc_untrimmed_reads/*.html ~/Desktop/fastqc_html

New: scp dcuser@ec2-34-224-214-69.compute-1.amazonaws.com:~/dc_workshop/results/fastqc_untrimmed_reads/*.html ~/Desktop/fastqc_html
