Copy File using SSH in Ubuntu 16.04

its just my note on how to copy files between VM, this command can only works when ssh service is already set and running



to do that, use the following commands

scp user@host:filepath storage_path

This script will copy file from something.com with access using user root, the file that will be copied is somelog.txt in directory /var/log in something.com and will be put on /home/someuser folder

scp root@something.com:/var/log/somelog.txt /home/someuser

Additional

To copy all files and directory, you can use -r

scp -r user@host:filepath storage_path
