Question

How to copy files into different directory in a remote machine?

For Example:

• My server : 10.10.0.1
• Remote Server : 10.10.0.2

I have to login to 10.10.0.1 (through Putty). From here, I have to copy a file in remote machine from /home/test/myFile.txt to /home/bkp/myFile.txt.

Both source and destination folders are in remote machine.

Answer 1

Assuming you can ssh to 10.10.22.12 as “username” and “username” has write permissions to /home/testBkp:

scp /home/test/sample.txt username@10.10.22.12:/home/testBkp/sample.txt
