→Secure Copy (scp)
The usage for the '''scp''' command is similar to the '''cp''' command with the addition of host names, for example:
<span style="font-family:courier">'''scp local.file username@host:destination-pathname'''<br><br>'''scp local.file username@host:'''<br><br>'''scp local.file host:'''<br><br></span>
The most common '''mistake''' that students make is forgetting to add<br>the '''colon''' character ":" <u>after</u> the remote hostname.
