SCP command to transfer files between servers?

Chris Worner · Apr 19, 2018

I used to use wget to transfer file between two VPS servers but I heard of SCP command can do similar function, someone can tell me how to use SCP command to transfer files between servers?

The SCP (secure copy) command allows users to transfer files between a remote machine running the SSH server and their local machine.

For example, to copy a local file to a remote system, use the following syntax:

Code:

scp /path/to/local/file user@host:/path/to/destination/file

To copy a file from a remote SSH server to the local machine, use the following syntax:

Code:

scp -r user@host:/path/to/remote/file /path/to/destination/file

Hope it helps!
