Dear Reader,
Today I am writing Unix commands to copy files and directories in Unix systems without FileZilla or
WinScp like User Interfaces.
Suppose you want to copy a file from one system (SOURCE) to another system (DESTINATION), Login into
DESTINATION system. Go to the location where you want to keep the copied contents.
Assumptions:
SOURCE IP: X.X.X.113 (Type full numeric complete IP address in copy command).
DESTINATION IP: X.X.X.50 (Type full numeric complete IP address in copy command).
UserName for SOURCE IP: dm0945
Password: System will ask once you enter the below copy command.
First login into DESTINATION IP system and move to destination directory, then type below command:
scp dm0945@X.X.X.113:/home/dmodi/log/q2-2011-09-21.log . (Press Enter, it will ask password for X.X.X.113 system.
The log file will be copied to current location of DESTINATION IP System.
Above command will copy a file, if you want entire diectory to copy, tweak the above command as below:
scp -r dm0945@X.X.X.113:/home/dmodi/log/q2-2011-09-21.log . (Press Enter, it will ask password for X.X.X.113 system.
Entire log directory will be copied to current location of DESTINATION IP System.
