→Secure Copy (scp)
Usage is similar to the cp command with the addition of host names, for example:
'''scp local.file user@host:destination-pathname'''
or
'''scp local.file user@host:'''
The most common mistake that students make is to forget to add the semicolon '''colon''' character":" after the remote hostname.
The user name in the command can be omitted if it's the same as on the local host
