File copy from local computer to remote computer using SCP

File copy from local computer to remote computer using SCP 

let me show you how with commands:

 SCP example https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/scp-command-in-linux-with-examples/

Example:

To copy a file named file.tx from your local machine to a remote server:

scp file.txt username@192.168.1.2:/home/username/

In this example:

  • file.txt is the local file
  • username@192.168.1.2 is the remote server and user
  • /home/username/ is the destination directory on the remote server.
