`scp {{path/to/local_file}} {{remote_host}}:{{path/to/remote_file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Copy a file from a remote host to a local folder:
|
|
|
|
`scp {{remote_host}}:{{path/to/remote_file}} {{path/to/local_dir}}`
|
|
|
|
- Recursively copy the contents of a directory from a remote host to a local directory:
|
|
|
|
`scp -r {{remote_host}}:{{path/to/remote_dir}} {{path/to/local_dir}}`
|
|
|
|
- Copy a file between two remote hosts transferring through the local host:
|
|
|
|
`scp -3 {{host1}}:{{path/to/remote_file}} {{host2}}:{{path/to/remote_dir}}`
|
|
|
|
- Use a specific username when connecting to the remote host:
|
|
|
|
`scp {{path/to/local_file}} {{remote_username}}@{{remote_host}}:{{path/to/remote_dir}}`
|
|
|
|
- Use a specific ssh private key for authentication with the remote host:
