Copying Files

From Server to Desktop

SCP

A lot of times you'll get coworkers who can't access or they don't use (or don't want to learn) how to use the server effectively. So they might ask you to help them transfer some files. One way to do it is to use the scp package. The command I use is below.

scp -r user@your.server.example.com:/path/to/foo /home/user/Desktop/

This works fairly well. And then I'll use wetransfer to send and recieve the files. Done.
