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 root@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/
SCP copy directory
scp -r user_name@remote_ip_address:/opt/my_dir .
Where:
-r
- Recursively copy entire directories, link to manual
It is good idea to zip entire directory before using scp, it'll save us time if the directory is large or contains a lot of small files.
