How can I copy files from a remote server to my local machine using Linux?

You can use the scp command on Linux to copy files from a remote location to your local machine. The format is:

scp [options] [username@]host:source_path destination_path

The option [options] is optional, [username@]host is the username and host address of the remote host, source_path is the path of the remote file, and destination_path is the path of the local file.

Here are some specific examples of how it is used:

1. Copy files from a remote host to the current directory on the local machine.

scp username@host:source_path .

1. Copy files from a remote host to a specified local directory.

scp username@host:source_path destination_path

1. Copy the entire directory from the remote host to the current directory locally.

scp -r username@host:source_directory .

1. Copy files from a remote host to the local machine and specify the port number.

scp -P port username@host:source_path destination_path

Please ensure that there is a network connection between the local and remote hosts before using the scp command, and that the appropriate permissions and authentication information have been set up.
