→Secure Copy (scp)
===Secure Copy (scp)===
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)===
