Routaran said:check to see if you can ssh into the device first.
$ ssh username@ip-address
are you able to successfully ssh into the device?
Wait, so in this, where I specify the file I want to send, before or after -vP 4410? (I want to send the file from my computer to username@ip...)Routaran said:Try the following
$ scp -vP 4410 username@ip-addr:/path/to/file .
I added the verbose option, hopefully we see where it's going wrong
I get thisRoutaran said:In that case
scp -vP 4410 /path/on/your/computer username@ip-addr:/destination/path/on/remote/system/
Routaran said:can you show me the command you are typing in?
You mean 4410? Isn't is already before the text file?Routaran said:You have to specify the port number before the text file.
scp -vP 4410 89418.txt username@ip-adr
Sorry I am a bit confused. What do you meanRoutaran said:yes, you didn't have it in your post.
The command you are using does not specify a destination port number. As a result, scp is using the default ssh port 22.Silviu said:scp -vP 89418.txt username@ip-adr (username and ip-adr are the same i use for the ssh command which is working)
Oh, sorry I have that I just didn't add show it here. I have the /path/to/destination/folder/ partRoutaran said:The command you are using does not specify a destination port number. As a result, scp is using the default ssh port 22.
Your command:
scp -vP 89418.txt username@ip-adr
Correct command
scp -vP 4410 89418.txt username@ip-adr:/path/to/destination/folder/
To copy a file from your laptop to a server using SCP, you can use the following command: scp [file_name] [server_username]@[server_ip]:[destination_path]. Replace [file_name] with the name of the file you want to copy, [server_username] with the username of the server, [server_ip] with the IP address of the server, and [destination_path] with the path where you want to save the file on the server.
Yes, you will need to have permission to access the server and the correct permissions to copy files to it. This typically involves having the correct username and password, or having a public key set up for authentication.
Yes, you can use the -r flag to recursively copy an entire directory and all of its contents to the server. For example: scp -r [directory_name] [server_username]@[server_ip]:[destination_path].
Yes, by default, SCP will overwrite existing files on the server if the names are the same. However, you can use the -n flag to prevent overwriting and the -u flag to only copy files that are newer on the server than on your local machine.
Yes, you can use the -v flag to enable verbose mode, which will provide updates on the progress of the file transfer. You can also use the -P flag to specify a port number for the transfer, which can help with troubleshooting if the transfer is interrupted.
