Common file transfer commands in Linux and how to use them

Sftp

# SFTP [email protected]

# put LocalPath

Download file:

# Get RemotePath

The local operation corresponding to the remote, only need to add "l" before the command, easy to remember.

Example: LCD lpwd lmkdir

Scp

Copy local_file to remote directory Remote_folder

# SCP Local_file [email Protected]:remote_folder

Copy Local_folder to remote Remote_folder (need to add parameter-R recursion)

# scp–r Local_folder [email protected]:remote_folder

The above command, in turn, is copied remotely to the local
