KEY CONCEPTS
The ssh Linux command is actually a suite of tools to allow the user to not only issue commands securely between Unix / Linux servers, but also securely copy and transfer files among Unix/Linux servers via the commands scp and sftp.
In this tutorial, you will learn several different methods to securely transfer files from your Matrix Linux account to other computers
using Linux commands including scp, sftp and mail.
Secure Copy (scp)
Secure copy protocol (SCP) is a means of securely transferring computer files between a local host and a remote host or between two remote hosts. It is based on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. "SCP" commonly refers to both the Secure Copy Protocol and the program itself.
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
