SCP

  

   

 The syntax for scp is: 

 If you are on the computer from which you want to send file to a remote computer: 

 scp /file/to/send username@remote:/where/to/put 

 Here the remote can be a FQDN or an IP address. 

 On the other hand if you are on the computer wanting to receive file from a remote computer: 

 scp username@remote:/file/to/send /where/to/put 

 scp can also send files between two remote hosts: 

 scp username@remote_1:/file/to/send username@remote_2:/where/to/put 

 So the basic syntax is: 

 scp username@source:/location/to/file username@destination:/where/to/put
