need to transfer a folder from ServerA to SerClosed

Question

Hello,



      there has 2 Linux servers, we called it ServerA and ServerB in different location. ServerA has a folder which contain different type of file (jpg, zip, doc ...etc) and it need to transfer to ServerB. Both server is runing SSH.

1) FTP is not working on it becasue SSH
2) SFTP can't run on it because i m transfer a folder,  not a file

and I believe the only chance is using scp, is anyone know the command line to running this . thx


example :(john is the folder need to be transfer)



thanks for helping me out

ssh has nothing to do with ftp. Both can work simultaneously. Here is the usage

To get help on the usage of a Linux command, you use the manual pages. For "scp", you type this in a terminal:

man scp

Now, as an example, suppose that your data is on ServerA under /home/john/ and you want to transfer it to ServerB logging in ServerB as user "paul" and saving the data under an existing directory located there /home/paul/john-bak/, you would do this on ServerA:

cd /home
scp -r john/ paul@ServerB:/home/paul/john-bak/
