If you want to copy a file / folder from one server to another, you can use wget or scp command. In this tutorial I will show how to use scp command to copy files / folder from one server to another.
Let us suppose
Server One IP is: 1.1.1.1
Server Two IP is: 2.2.2.2
How to copy a file
Suppose you want to copy a file from server one to server two.
Location of file on server one is: /home/filename.txt
Login to server two via SSH and run following command
scp root@1.1.1.1:/home/filename.txt /home/
This will copy filename.txt file from server one to server two and save in /home directory.
How to copy a folder / directory
Suppose you want to copy a complete folder from server one to server two.
Let’s say you want to copy /backup folder from server one to server two.
Login to server two via SSH and run following command
scp -r root@1.1.1.1:/backup /foldername
This will copy /backup directory from server one to server two and save in /foldername directory.
