Hi friends, In this post I am going to explain how to upload your large files / database files to server using terminal with the help of commands SCP or SSH.
Basic command for uploading files
1 | scp -P [PORT NUMBER] [PATH OF YOUR LOCAL FILE] [USERNAME]@[HOST]:[DESTINATION PATH] |
Here
[PORT NUMBER] : The default port number is 22. We can specify other than that also.
[PATH OF YOUR LOCAL FILE] : Your source file ( From which location you need to upload files). i.e. your local system path.
[USERNAME] : Your server’s username from which name you are accessing the server
[HOST] : Your server’s IP address or domain name to access the server
[DESTINATION PATH] : To which location your files needs to upload.
Eg:
1 | scp -P 225 /home/anillabs/Desktop/testdb.sql [email protected]:/www/phpproject/db/ |
It is only for example.
