scp
Secure copy. Copy files between hosts using Secure Copy Protocol over SSH.
- Copy a local file to a remote host:
scp {{path/to/local_file}} {{remote_host}}:{{path/to/remote_file}}
- Copy a file from a remote host to a local folder:
scp {{remote_host}}:{{path/to/remote_file}} {{path/to/local_dir}}
- Recursively copy the contents of a directory from a remote host to a local directory:
scp -r {{remote_host}}:{{path/to/remote_dir}} {{path/to/local_dir}}
- Copy a file between two remote hosts transferring through the local host:
scp -3 {{host1}}:{{path/to/remote_file}} {{host2}}:{{path/to/remote_dir}}
- Use a specific username when connecting to the remote host:
scp {{path/to/local_file}} {{remote_username}}@{{remote_host}}:{{path/to/remote_dir}}
- Use a specific ssh private key for authentication with the remote host:
scp -i {{~/.ssh/private_key}} {{local_file}} {{remote_host}}:{{/path/remote_file}}
