Description:
Use scp (secure copy) to copy data between different servers, from local or remote hosts.
Solution:
Syntax for secure copying is easy, you just need to provide the source and destination of the file/folder.
Depending where you are copying to and from, you might need to specify the host name.
Copy from remote server to local is like this:
$ scp username@host:foobar.txt local/directory
$ scp [email protected]:/root/htdocs/file.txt /myfolder/projects/www
Same with remote-to-remote or local to remote.
