<p>Pgregg: </p> <hr /> <div>Secure Copy (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell SCP]) is a way of copying data between two computers using [[SSH]].<br /> <br /> ==Using SCP==<br /> The following commands work under Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu Linux, and Mac OS X. <br /> <br /> This command, when run from a terminal, will copy the file &quot;source_file.txt&quot; from the local machine to a folder inside the user's OpenLab account and give it the name &quot;target_file.txt&quot;.<br /> wing:~ Ben$ scp source_file.txt bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu:target_file.txt<br /> <br /> This command, when run from a terminal, will copy the file &quot;source_file.txt&quot; from the user's OpenLab account into the current local directory and give it the name &quot;target_file.txt&quot;.<br /> wing:~ Ben$ scp bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu:source_file.txt target_file.txt<br /> <br /> Note how the syntax of scp is very similar to that of the UNIX command cp with the addition of a hostname and username.<br /> <br /> For UMIACS supported Windows hosts, a SCP client is already installed. For other hosts, you can download and install [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY], which will enable SSH and SCP access. <br /> <br /> ==Further Information==<br /> * [http://www.openssh.org/ OpenSSH]<br /> * [http://winscp.net WinSCP]</div>
