TFS Workspace and Workfold conflicting on Linux with hosted TFS (VisualStudio.com)

I'm trying to figure out how to connect to TFS and get code stored on the hosted TFS (ie - visualstudio.com) down to my linux web server.

I have installed the TFS command-line client (tf.exe)

i run the following command:

$ tf workspace -new "My - Workspace" -collection:https://me.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection -login:user,pass

then, i list the workspaces:

$ tf workspaces

Collection: https://gotmike.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/

Workspace            Owner       Computer           Comment

-------------------- ----------- ------------------ -------------
My - Workspace       My Name     ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx

all seems good...

then, i try to run workfold...

$ tf workfold -map -login:user,pass -server:http://me.visualstudio.com -workspace:"My - Workspace" '$/My - Workspace/My - Workspace' '/home/me/test'

An argument error occurred: The workspace 'My - Workspace' could not be found.

how can it not be found if it's showing up in the list? what am i doing wrong?

The /server flag is deprecated and should not be used against recent servers (those that have "project collections", like Visual Studio Online.) Instead use the /collection flag, like you did in the first example. The workspace should then be able to be found in the specified project collection.

For example:

tf workfold -map -login:user,pass -collection:https://me.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection -workspace:"My - Workspace" '$/My - Workspace/My - Workspace' '/home/me/test'
