SCP from linux to linux - command:

scp user_name@remote_ip_address:/remote_dir/remote_file.zip /local_dir/

Practical example (persoanlly use it a lot):

scp user_name@remote_ip_address:/opt/filename.zip .

This command will ask you for password to remote server.

Explanation:

/opt/filename.zip - it is your remote file

. - it will be copied to current directory where we are on current machine

We can also give destination directory like this:

scp user_name@remote_ip_address:/opt/filename.zip /home/
