How to copy files between different servers in Linux?

To copy files between different servers in Linux, you can use the following command:

1. To use the scp command, abbreviated for Secure Copy, files can be securely copied between different servers. Here is an example of using the scp command to copy files:
2. Copy the source file from the source server to the destination directory on the destination server using the SCP command.
3. In the command above, replace “username” with the username for both the login target server and the source server, “source_server” with the IP address or hostname of the source server, “/path/to/source_file” with the file path on the source server to be copied, “destination_server” with the IP address or hostname of the target server, and “/path/to/destination_directory” with the directory path on the target server to copy to.
4. Using the rsync command: The rsync command is a powerful file synchronization and backup tool that can copy files between different servers. Below is an example of using the rsync command to copy files.
5. Copy the file from the source server to the destination server using rsync with ssh protocol.
6. In the above command, replace username with the username for both the target and source servers, replace source_server with the IP address or hostname of the source server, replace /path/to/source_file with the file path on the source server to be copied, replace destination_server with the IP address or hostname of the target server, and replace /path/to/destination_directory with the directory path on the target server to copy to.

When using either the scp or rsync command, you will need to enter the login passwords of the source and target servers when executing the command.
