Linux->> SCP command to copy files/folders on the peer machine

The SCP is a shorthand for secure copy, which is used to copy files from a remote machine under Linux.

Characteristics:

The transmission is encrypted and slightly affects the speed. Compared with rsync, it has an advantage over resource occupancy.

Usage

SCP [parameter] [original path] [Target path]

Parameters

-C Compression

-P retains the original file's modification time, access time, and access rights.

-Q does not display the transfer progress bar.

-R recursively replicates the entire directory.

-V verbose displays the output. SCP and SSH (1) will display debugging information for the entire process. This information is used to debug connections, authentication, and configuration issues.

-L Limit

-P Specify the transport port

Example:

Copy files locally to the remote machine:

Command format:

SCP Local_file [Email Protected]_ip:remote_folder

Or

SCP Local_file [Email protected]_ip:remote_file

Or

SCP Local_file Remote_ip:remote_folder

Or

SCP Local_file Remote_ip:remote_file

Copy directories locally to the remote machine:

Command format:

Scp-r Local_folder [Email protected]_ip:remote_folder

Or

Scp-r Local_folder Remote_ip:remote_folder

To copy a directory from a remote machine to a local server:

SCP [Email protected]:/opt/soft/nginx-0.5.38.tar.gz/opt/soft/
