One Day One Command
===================

scp — Secure remote file Copy Program.

Summary:

scp copies files between computers on a network. It uses ssh for data
transfer, & uses the same authentication & provides the same security
as ssh. The SSH Daemon must be running in the remote computer to do
the scp.

Examples:

$ scp file1 remote@MyServer:~/ — Copy local file1 to Home Dir of
                   
              the remote account on
MyServer.

$ scp -p file1 remote@MyServer:~/ — Preserves modification times,

                  access times, and modes from the original file.

$ scp -r MyDir remote@MyServer:~/ — Recursively copy entire MyDir.

$ scp -q file1 remote@MyServer:~/ — Disables the default progress bar.

$ scp -v file1 remote@MyServer:~/ — Verbose Mode.

$ scp remote@MyServer:~/file2 . — Copy the file2 from remote account
                   
              on MyServer to the
local host.
