  scp [email protected]:/path/to/<file> /path/to/local/directory 
  

• Copy the specific file(s) from the local host to a remote host:

  scp <file> [email protected]:/path/to/remote/directory 
  

• Copy the specific directory from the local host to a remote host:

  scp -r <file> [email protected]:/path/to/remote/directory 
  

• Copy the specific file from a one remote host to another:

  scp [email protected]:/path/to/remote/directory/<file> [email protected]:/path/to/remote/directory/
  

• Copy multiple files from the local host to a remote host:

  scp <file1> <file2> <fileN> [email protected]:/path/to/remote/directory
