scp (secure copy)
By jeltsch on Thu, 04/05/2007 - 21:54In order to copy the file index.html from the local machine to vesuri.helsinki.fi the following command is needed:
scp -p /Volumes/Documents/michael/Sites/index.html jeltsch@vesuri.helsinki.fi:./public_html/index.html
The p flag preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file. The full path of the original file (/Volumes/Documents/michael/Sites/index.html) is of course not needed if the file is in the current directory.
