scp from remote host to local host [closed]

Solution 1:

You need the ip of the other pc and do:

scp user@ip_of_remote_pc:/home/user/stuff.php /Users/djorge/Desktop

it will ask you for 'user's password on the other pc.

Solution 2:

There must be a user in the AllowUsers section, in the config file /etc/ssh/ssh_config, in the remote machine. You might have to restart sshd after editing the config file.

And then you can copy for example the file "test.txt" from a remote host to the local host

scp [email protected]:test.txt /local/dir

@cool_cs you can user ~ symbol ~/Users/djorge/Desktop if it's your home dir.

In UNIX, absolute paths must start with '/'.
