SSH useful commands

I post below some useful SSH commands


Secure Copy File Transfer

SCP copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh. Some examples here

From a remote host to  local host

scp -P10022 192.168.2.10:/home/stelios/Desktop/Etherchannel.zip /home/stelios/Desktop/  
 Etherchannel.zip                                            100% 137KB 136.6KB/s  00:00   

More that one file from localhost to remote host

scp -P10022 test01.txt test02.txt 192.168.2.10:/home/stelios/Desktop/  
 test01.txt                                                 100%  0   0.0KB/s  00:00    
 test02.txt                                                 100%  0   0.0KB/s  00:00    

From the local host to a remote host

scp -P10022 /home/stelios/Desktop/Multicast.zip 192.168.2.10:/home/stelios/Desktop/  
 Multicast.zip                                               100%  75MB  1.5MB/s  00:49    

Secure Copy  directory from local to remote host
