20.6.2. Using the scp Command

The scp command can be used to transfer files between machines over a secure, encrypted connection. It is similar to rcp.
The general syntax to transfer a local file to a remote system is as follows: 
scp <localfile> username@tohostname:<remotefile>scp <localfile> username@tohostname:<remotefile>scp <localfile> username@tohostname:<remotefile>scp <localfile> username@tohostname:<remotefile>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
The <localfile> specifies the source including path to the file, such as /var/log/maillog. The <remotefile> specifies the destination, which can be a new filename such as /tmp/hostname-maillog. For the remote system, if you do not have a preceding /, the path will be relative to the home directory of username, typically /home/username/.
To transfer the local file shadowman to the home directory of your account on penguin.example.net, type the following at a shell prompt (replace username with your username): 
scp shadowman username@penguin.example.net:shadowmanscp shadowman username@penguin.example.net:shadowmanscp shadowman username@penguin.example.net:shadowman
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
This will transfer the local file shadowman to /home/username/shadowman on penguin.example.net. Alternately, you can leave off the final shadowman in the scp command.
The general syntax to transfer a remote file to the local system is as follows: 
scp username@tohostname:<remotefile> <newlocalfile>scp username@tohostname:<remotefile> <newlocalfile>scp username@tohostname:<remotefile> <newlocalfile>scp username@tohostname:<remotefile> <newlocalfile>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
The <remotefile> specifies the source including path, and <newlocalfile> specifies the destination including path.
Multiple files can be specified as the source files. For example, to transfer the contents of the directory downloads/ to an existing directory called uploads/ on the remote machine penguin.example.net, type the following at a shell prompt: 
scp downloads/* username@penguin.example.net:uploads/scp downloads/* username@penguin.example.net:uploads/scp downloads/* username@penguin.example.net:uploads/
