It aims to resemble cp, and cp also features the -p option. This is caused by the different architecture of scp. You will get an error message like this one: cp: cannot stat `yourport': No such file or directory You’d expect that specifying a port should be done this way: ~]$ scp -p yourport. The scp command acts a little different when it comes to ports. Actually you can also use it just like the normal cp command, without any ssh connections in it, but that’s quite useless. We’ll go a bit more in-depth about the differences between ssh and scp. Or make the servers able to reach each other (for example by opening the port). In that case, copy the files to your own computer first, then to the other host. If the servers somehow can’t reach each other (for example, if port 22 is not open on one of the sides) you won’t be able to copy anything.
Ssh copy a file password#
This will copy the file “/home/yourusername/examplefile” to the current directory on your own computer, provided that the username and password are correct and that the file actually exists.You probably already guessed that the following command copies a file from a (remote) server to another (remote) server: ~]$ scp To make the above command work, the servers must be able to reach each other, as the data will be transferred directly between them. ), which is the parent directory of the current directory. Besides a single dot, you can also type a double dot (. This is a handy trick that can be used about everywhere in Linux. Note: The dot at the end means the current local directory. Let’s have a look at an example of that: ~]$ scp. You can also copy a file (or multiple files) from the (remote) server to your own local computer. For remote hosts, the file(s)/directory are given to the scp command is this way. Just like Linux’s normal cp command, scp will need to know both the source file(s) and the target directory (or file). There’s a colon over there, with a directory after it. Let’s have a closer look at the end of the command. You could leave out the in front of “yourserver”, but only if you want to login on the server with your current username on your own computer. That’s quite a lot information, but scp really needs it all.
These options are very useful for a lot of things that require files to be transferred, so let’s have a look at the syntax of this command: ~]$ scp examplefile scp command above will transfer the file “examplefile” to the directory “/home/yourusername/” at the server “yourserver”, trying to get ssh acces with the username “yourusername”. In the third case, the data is transferred directly between the servers your own computer will only tell the servers what to do. To copy from a (remote) server to another (remote) server.To copy from your computer to a (remote) server.To copy from a (remote) server to your computer.However, there are some important differences. The scp command uses the ssh command and they are very much alike. This is pretty useful if you want to transport files between computers, for example to backup something. The scp command allows you to copy files over ssh connections. The difference is this: SSH is the general protocol, and ssh is the linux SSH client command. Before we start: in this tutorial, you will come across both SSH and ssh.
