Copy files from one location to another in Linux
Although almost all Linux operating systems now have GUIs (graphical user interface), it still is easier to get things to work correctly when using the command line. If you want to copy files or entire folders from one workstation to another, here are the commands to do so:
Open up a terminal session from a client on the network.
#scp –r “IP address:” [Source location] [Destination location]
Prompted with admin account/password credentials.
This is how it would look as a real command:
#scp –r 192.168.1.1: /home/Woods/Documents/* /home/me/Documents
Prompted with admin account/password credentials
This is translated to securely copying all(*) files within the /home/Woods/Documents directory on computer with an IP address of 192.168.1.1 and transferring them to the machine I am on into the directory of /home/me/Documents.
