Using SCP to copy files between Linux servers
Posted on April 4, 2009
SCP? SCP is a method of securely transferring files between a local and a remote host or between two remote hosts, using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.
Sounds confusing?
Not really.
scp -C -r USERNAME@REMOTE_SERVER:/LOCAL_DIRECTORY REMOTE_DIRECTORY
Easy as that!
