SCP: The Other Way to Transfer File
I admit that SCP (Secure Copy) is not a new tool coming in recently. However, I would like to share this tool for those who have never tried this before. I will introduce for two different platform.
For UNIX/Mac OS/Linux users, Most distributions have already had SCP package. You can transfer file or directory from one box to the other box. The nice thing, which is different with FTP, is that you can transfer files or directories between two boxes, neither of them is your local machine. The following is the example.
scp -r userA@domainA:./DirectoryA userB@domainB:./DirectoryB
For Windows users, you have to download the third party software. Here, I recommend WinSCP. You can download from here. Although it is not as flexible as SCP CLI, it still facilitate file transfer between your Windows local machine to other computer box.
