→INVESTIGATION 1: USING SECURE COPY
<br>
In this section, you will learn how to use the '''scp''' command.
# Change back to your '''home''' directory and confirm that you are located in your ''home'' directory.<br><br>Let's run a '''shell script''' to check that you created the correct directories<br>and that you created the '''myfile.txt''' file (with correct file contents) in the '''~/from''' directory<br>before using the ''scp'' Linux command.<br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command to run that checking script:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">bash /home/murray.saul/scripts/week6-check-1</span><br><br>
# If you encounter errors, make corrections and then re-run the checking script until you receive<br>a congratulations message, and proceed to the next step.<br><br><span style="color:blue;">'''NOTEATTENTION:''' As previously mentionedSince the only server account you have is your '''Matrix''' server, <br>we will simulate using the scp command to copy from your '''Matrix'''scpserver to<br>''' command on <u>another instance </u> of our your Matrix server'''. <br><br>To make this work, we will need to edit a '''"start-up " file''' to place a special series of commands.<br>You will learn more about start-up files later in this course.</span><br><br>
# Use a text editor to edit the following start-up file: '''~/.bashrc'''<br><br>
# '''Copy''' and '''paste''' the following text (shown below) at the '''TOP''' of your startup file:<br><span style="font-family:courier;font-weight:bold;">[[ $- == *i* ]] || return </span><br><br>
