How To Use The scp Command to Copy a File From Remote to Local (and vice versa) 

I know this is 2 years old, but just wanted to comment to say this helped me more in 7 minutes than googling for 35. Thank you so much!

Your video saved me after at least two hours of frustrated attempts to download my source code from the Linux server to turn in for homework. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

So happy this channel exists! Please keep putting out content like this, you're saving lives man.

Excellent resource on how to use scp. So many examples get it wrong *or* complicate things by getting bogged down with unnecessary details. After this I was able to do both remote client copy with ease. Thanks, decided to subscribe as well. 👌

This was simplified and straight to the point. Thank you so much.

Thank you! My school compiles our files on a RedHat server for grading. We're supposed to FTP our programs to there to make certain they compile, but the professor didn't demonstrate well, and some of the TA's don't know how to do this without a GUI. Halfway through the semester, and you finally teach me what I was supposed to learn in week one! I've been getting away with by installing a Linux distro on my old laptop, but now I know how to do it properly. Thank you again!

Love the chill attitude along with the chill explanation

Dude, I'm a noob and this helped a lot. Thanks man.

how would you do the above, but instead of step by step, its a script that gets scheduled on the linux machine that gets run on a predefined scheduled, where it copies a bunch of files from the windows machine INTO the linux machine. The script is running on the linux machine twice daily where the authentication is also in script or happens automatically and there is no need to type it in manually ?

Thank you mate! That was very helpful

If you can explain how to do with servers with ssh key that would be very good. I destroyed my server and started over with password. It was just for building linux appimage in 18.04 but it is good to know how to do with ssh key (using linux)

thx. all works)

Magic! thnx a man

does this work for windows?

Thank you for the tutorial! I wanted to know, is it possible to copy multiple files at once? Or instead of files, copy a directory? Also, I'm using a vagrant box that I connect in SSH in VSCode, is it possible to open in Finder the remote directory to open the file directly in MacOS without copying them? Like for example having HTML file in the remote and opening them in Safari.
