Upload from Local to Server

Ini untuk upload file dari local ke server. scp ~/lokasi/file/di/local user@ip-server:/path/ke/lokasi.

scp ~/Documents/file.txt user@192.168.1.12:/home/user/Downloads

Optional

There are several option you are able to use, such as:
-P using your desire port. like -P 22.
example:

scp -P 2223 user@192.168.1.12:/home/user/Project/file.txt ~/Downloads

Command tersebut akan mengcopy file.txt ke dalam directory Downloads lewat port 2223.
example:

-r recursive, if you need to copy all of file inside a directory.

scp -r ~/Downloads/directory-main user@192.168.1.12:/home/user/Projects/

Perintah tersebut, akan mengupload semua file yang ada di directory directory-main ke dalam directory server Projects.

-i using private key.
example:

scp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsh/ssh-key.pem ~/Documents/file.txt user@192.168.1.12:/home/user/Projects

Ini dilakukan ketika si server tidak menerima login via password.

-C using compres data (it is faster if your files are too big).
example:

scp -C bigfile.zip user@192.168.1.20:/home/user/Documents

Gunakan ini untuk kompresi file yang berukuran besar agar mempercepat data transfering.

Addition : You can combine all of command like

scp -r -P 2345 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/Projects user@192.168.6.123:/home/user/Downloads

Command ini akan mengupload semua file di directory Projects ke directory server Downloads dengan private key dan melewati port 2345.
