Using the Secure Copy command (scp) from the command promptThere are occasions when you may want to push or pull a file from one machine to another from the command line.
For example, recently I needed to restore a configuration file from a backup machine to a production machine after a disk failure and subsequent software reinstallation.
In the following scenarios, replace the machine1 and machine2 listings with the IP addresses or domain names of your machines.
Scenario 1The file was located on machine1 and needed to be moved (pushed) to machine2.
The command below identifies the file on machine1
and securely copies it to machine2:
<root@machine1 /root># scp /etc/aspseek/sites.conf machine2:
You will be prompted for the root password of machine2.
When successfully authenticated, the file will be scp'ed into the /root directory of machine2, from which it was easily moved to the proper directory.
Scenario 2:The file "removecore.sh" was located on machine2 and needed
to be moved(pulled) onto machine1:
<root@machine1 /root># scp machine2:/root/removecore.sh /root
Once again, you will be asked to authenticate with the root password. If successful, the removecore.sh script will be scp'ed to the /root directory of machine1.
