Use scp instead of wget to transfer files

Sometimes, the host has restrictions and wget cannot obtain files. At this time, it is much more convenient to use scp to transfer files under ssh.

1. Download the file

scp [email protected]:/path/filename /home/local_dir

[email protected] is the SSH username and IP address of the server, such as [email protected]
/path/filename is the server file storage directory
/home/local_dir is the directory where local files need to be stored (the directory must have write permission)

2. Upload files

scp /path/filename [email protected]:/path

/path/filename local file
[email protected] is the SSH username and IP address of the server, such as [email protected]
/path Server storage directory

3. Download the entire directory

scp -r [email protected]:/var/www/remote_dir/ /home/local_dir

[email protected] is the SSH username and IP address of the server, such as [email protected]
/var/www/remote_dir/ server directory
/home/local_dir local directory

4. Upload the directory to the server

scp -r /home/local_dir [email protected]:/var/www/remote_dir/

/home/local_dir local directory
[email protected] is the SSH username and IP address of the server, such as [email protected]
/var/www/remote_dir/ server directory

Note : The password entered in SSH will not be displayed. Just press Enter after entering it.
