Transfer files through SCP



 SCP: Secure transfer protocol.


It helps to transfer computer files securely from the local to remote host. It is somewhat similar to File transfer protocol but it adds secunty and authentication.


Protocol: set of rules used by computers to communicate.


Default SCP port: port 22 same as ssh.


Question: how to transfer file using SCP? For this lecture we again need 2 linux machines:


client: myfirstlinuxvm


server: linuxcentos7


1. Login to client machine as yourself


2. go to home directory


3. touch jack :create the file called jack


4. open the file jack and put some content in there.


5. scp jack jaime@192.168.1.58:/home/jaime: login to server as jaime and transfer the jack file to server in home/jaime location.

 6.login to server and check if the file jack has been transferred or not.
