The premise of the question is incorrect. The idea is, once logged into ssh, how to move files from the logged-in machine back to the client that is logged in. However, scp is not aware of nor can it use the ssh connection. It is making its own connections. So the simple solution is create a new terminal window on the local workstation, and run scp that transfers files from the remote server ...
In my terminal shell, I ssh'ed into a remote server, and I cd to the directory I want. Now in this directory, there is a file called table that I want to copy to my local machine /home/me/Desktop...
user88595 Over a year ago Only solution which allows the use of scp -3 from and to servers with ssh listeners on different ports. scp -3 -P 123 server1:/file -P 456 server2:/file or similar alternatives wouldn't work, scp assumed the same port across both servers Sadat Over a year ago Best solution ever, where the source file is from Remote machine
scp is actually easier to use than appears at first glance. scp <from> <to> <from> or <to> can be local or remote. Remote files are of the form user@host:path_on_remote Local files are just simple paths: /path/to/my/file.txt If you are doing this by hand, you might find it easier not to copy the file back to your office machine, by running the following from the localhost before being logged ...
If you have difficulties with files containing punctuation characters, try using sftp instead of scp to transfer them. Or use an even more convenient method, if you can use FUSE: mount the remote machine's filesystem using sshfs, and then use ordinary file manipulation commands.
6 If you're running this scp command on the remote machine, it is looking for file.ext as a "local" file, i.e. on the remote machine. To copy a file from the remote machine to the local one, use scp -P 2222 username@domain:dir/file.ext localdir (assuming that file.ext is in ~/dir on the remote computer, as in your example).
I have some n number of files in a directory on my unix system. Is there a way to write a shellscript that will transfer all those files via scp to a specified remote system. I'll specify the passw...
131 I need to copy a file between two remote nodes: node A is a managed node where the file exists node B is a managed node where the file should be copied Please note that my control node, from where I run all my Ansible tasks, is none of the above mentioned nodes. I have tried the following: Use scp command in shell module of Ansible
I have created a file on a remote computer that I have ssh-ed into. I want to transfer the file back to the laptop I am using at the moment. I see that I am supposed to use the command: scp username@
EDIT: This is a duplicate of How to copy a file to a remote server in Python using SCP or SSH?. However, that question doesn't give an scp-specific answer that deals with keys from within Python. I'm hoping for a way to run code kind of like
