Copying from remote server to local using SCP/ Name of service not know ssh error

I am trying to copy a folder from a secured remote server to my local disk. When I try to copy with the following:

[banikr@vcn1 rat_SCI_data]$ scp -r /MAL_Test_Case/ banikr2@banikr:/media/banikr2/DATA/MAL/fromfmri/

I get the following error:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname banikr: Name or service not known
lost connection

To be exact I want to copy MAL_Test_Case to my local path/drive.

Any help?
