How do I use scp backwards?
I want to do the following:
scp [email protected]:/root/file.txt ~/homecomputer/directory
Instead of taking a file from the server though, I would like to send a file. How do I do this?
The syntax is:
scp source destination
So this time the source is your local (client) computer and the destination is the remote (server) computer.
If the file you want to send is ~/homecomputer/directory/foobar.txt, then from your local computer you can do:
scp ~/homecomputer/directory/foobar.txt [email protected]:/where/to/put
Check man scp to get more idea on this.
