→‎Secure Copy (scp)

===Secure Copy (scp)===

x''Secure copy protocol (SCP) is a means of securely transferring computer files between a local host and a remote host or between two remote hosts. It is based on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. "SCP" commonly refers to both the Secure Copy Protocol and the program itself.''

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy

Usage is similar to the cp command with the addition of host names, for example:

'''scp local.file user@host:destination''' or '''scp local.file user@host:'''

The most common mistake that students make is to forget to add the semicolon character

The user name in the command can be omitted if it's the same as on the local host

Multiple file and recursive directory copy is supported

===Secure File Transmission Control Protocol (sftp)===
