SCP not working when sending files from remote to local

I'm trying to send some files from a remote server to my local computer. Here's the command I'm using on the remote server that doesn't work:

scp name@123.123.123.123:~/path/to/file.name C:\Users\Desktop\Name\file\

This didn't work, and so I tried this one as well (which also didn't work)

scp name@123.123.123.123:~/path/to/file.name name2@132.132.132.132:~/Desktop/dir

I got name2 by typing the hostname command in my local Windows command prompt.

Also, when I say "doesn't work" I mean that on the remote server, the terminal doesn't return anything and sort of freezes until I press CTRL+C or something like that.

What might be the problem. Thanks in advance.
