# SSH & SCP Notes/Reference:

## Secure Shell (SSH):

### Connecting:

- `ssh userName@remoteHostAddress` = Connects to remote host via SSH. (Ex: `ssh


[email protected]`)

If requiring port address:


- `ssh -pXXXX userName@remoteHostAddress` = connects to remote using port number
XXXX. (Ex: `ssh -p1234 [email protected]`)

**Use lowercase 'p' for port Number**

Once you login, you may use basic linux commands to move around the directories or
manipulate files on the remote system.

## Secure Copying (SCP):

Syntax:
- `scp [options] [portNumber] sourceHostFileOrDirectoryPath
destinationDirectoryPath`

NOTE: Use Uppercase 'P' for port number flag (In SSH, we used lowercase 'p').

### Coyping from Remote to Local:

1. Copying a File: `scp -PXXXX userName@remoteHostAddress:filePath


localDirectoryPath`
2. Copying a Directory: `scp -r -PXXXX userName@remoteHostAddress:directoryPath
localDirectoryPath`

Use `-r` flag : Recursively copies directory contents.

### Coyping from Local to Remote:

1. Copying a File: `scp -PXXXX localDirectoryPath


userName@remoteHostAddress:directoryPath`
2. Copying a Directory: `scp -r -PXXXX localDirectoryPath
userName@remoteHostAddress:directoryPath`

Use `-r` flag : Recursively copies directory contents.
