Matt Terwilliger 11e745572e Recursive scp arguments reversed (#1321) 
* Recursive scp arguments reversed

The command to "copy [...] on a remote host to a local
directory" in the current scp tldr page was backwards.

scp arguments take the form `scp from to`.

* add the word from for clarity

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}}
