scp (Revision #2)

\scp
  Copies files between two hosts.
Syntax
 

\scp [-H known_hosts] [-i identity_file] [-P port] [-t] [[user@]host1:]fromFile1 [[[user@]host1:]fromFile2 ...] [[user@]host2:]toFile
Description
 

\scp copies files between the local host and a remote host. File names may contain a user and host specification to indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host; current user is assumed if the user portion is omitted.
Directory copy is done recursively by default. Copying files between remote hosts is not allowed, and, copying files on the local host is not supported.
\scp uses SSH for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as SSH. \scp will ask for passphrase if -i option is presented; otherwise, it will ask for password for each distinct user and host specification.
If the destination to where file(s) to be copied is a directory, then the destination directory needs to be created before the \scp command is executed; otherwise, exception will be thrown.
Options
  -H known_hosts
Sets the path to the file that has the identities of all known hosts, defaults to user-home-directory/.ssh/known_hosts.
  -i identity_file
Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA authentication is read.
  -P port
Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host, defaults to 22.
  -t
Trusts hosts whose identity is unknown.
Example
  To copy a local file in the working directory to a remote directory:

\scp fromFile username@hostname:~/toDirectory
  To copy a local file to a remote directory with a different file name:

\scp /tmp/fromFile username@hostname:/tmp/newFileName
  To copy local files to a remote directory:

\scp /tmp/fromFile1 /tmp/fromFile2 username@hostname:/tmp
  To copy a local directory to a remote directory, note that the /tmp/dirName directory on the remote machine needs to be created beforehand:

\scp /tmp/dirName username@hostname:/tmp/dirName
  To copy a remote file to a local directory:

\scp username@hostname:/tmp/fromFile /tmp/toDirectory
  To copy a remote directory to a local directory, note that the trailing asterisk after the fromDirectory is required in order for directory copy to work:

\scp username@hostname:/tmp/fromDirectory/* /tmp/toDirectory
