scp, ssh

man scp

scp copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh(1) for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh(1). scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for authentication.

From local to remote

scp data.txt user@remote.com:

Remote to local

scp user@remote.com:data.txt .

Run remote command

ssh user@remote.com uptime

Sometimes you have to be more specific

ssh user@remote.com /home/pi/bin/toTheMoonWrap

Filter out locale warnings, errors

ssh user@remote.com /home/pi/bin/toTheMoonWrap 2>&1 | grep -v "LC_ALL"
