Linux SCP - copy file between 2 remote servers

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx

scp root@2.2.2.2:/home/my_file.zip /home/

Explanation:

• We currently are on remote server 1 (IP: 1.1.1.1)
• And we want to copy file from remote server 2 (IP: 2.2.2.2)
• We execute the command from remote server 1
  scp root@2.2.2.2:/home/my_file.zip /home/
• When we execute the command we will be asked to provide password to remote server 2
• And the file will start to download
• After download is finish the file will be on server 1 under path:
  /home/my_file.zip

Note: it is important to use the last slash eg /home/

Why?

Without this slash eg /home, we will copy the file not to directory but we will try to copy it as "home" filename instead of my_file.zip.
