Steps to transfer files and folders between two Linux servers

Today I was dealing with the issue of migrating a project, and suddenly I found myself wondering how to move so many pictures. The first thing that came to my mind was to download them from this server first, and then upload them to another server. This method is indeed feasible, but it is too time-consuming. Today I will teach you how to quickly transfer files and folders between two servers.

Step 1: Open our remote connection tool and enter the account password to log in to the server, as shown in the figure:

Click the file to open or create a new session. Enter the host IP and account password for the new session. If you have already logged in, just click the icon with a + sign under the file.

Step 2: Find the file or folder you want to transfer:

There are so many pictures here, I will just pass one, we enter pwd, you can see the path of the picture is /home/helpteach/project/mallupload/

Step 3: Start transferring files:

Input: scp /home/helpteach/project/mallupload/1509681299449.png [email protected]:/home/test

Then press the Enter key to see that the file is being transferred. When the mouse flashes again, it means that the transfer is complete. Let me break down the statement for you.

Copy folders (including the folder itself)

scp -r /home/helpteach/project/mallupload/ [email protected]:/home/test

Copy all files in the folder (excluding the folder itself)

scp /home/helpteach/project/mallupload/* [email protected]:/home/test

Copy the file and rename it

scp /home/helpteach/project/mallupload/1509681299449.png [email protected]:/home/test/test.png

/home/helpteach/project/mallupload/1509681299449.png: File to transfer

wasadmin: target server ssh account name

@ followed by the IP address of the target server

: Followed by: The directory where the files to be transferred to the target server are saved

The above are all the steps and knowledge points about transferring files and folders between two Linux servers. Thank you for your reading and support for 123WORDPRESS.COM.
