Linux scp command allows us to transfer files and folders between different linux computers. In this tutorial, we will introduce how to use it to transfer.
Suppose you plan to transfer files or folders to a remote linux computer /app/jupyter, the ip of that is: 10.12.12.12
1.Transfer a file to remote linux computer
If you want to transfer a file called test.zip
We can use command below:
scp test.zip root@10.12.12.12:/app/jupyter
Here root is the user name in 10.12.12.12. You can change it to your own user name, for example: tom
You may have to enter your password before starting to transfer file.
2.Transfer more files to remote linux computer
We can use command below:
scp f1.zip f2.zip root@10.12.12.12:/app/jupyter
Then we can transfer f1.zip and f2.zip
3.Transfer a folder to remote linux computer
Similar to transfer a file, we also can transfer a folder.
Here is an example:
scp -v -r dataset root@10.12.12.12:/app/jupyter
This command will transfer folder dataset to /app/jupyter
4. Transfer folders to remote linux computer
We also can transfer some folders once.
For example:
scp -v -r dataset dataset2 root@10.12.12.12:/app/jupyter
We will transfer dataset and dataset2 to /app/jupyter
