Using SCP is a great way to transfer files from one machine to another. SCP uses SSH and can move files to/from localhost remotehost or remotehost remotehost.
SCP Syntax: localhost -> remotehost
scp /path/to/source-file user@host:/path/to/destination-file
SCP Syntax: remotehost -> remotehost
scp user@src-host:/path/to/src-file user@dest-host:/path/to/dest-file
SCP Examples
scp file.txt mydomain.com:~/mydir/file.txt
scp local_dir/filename myname@host1:remote_dir
scp local_dir/* myname@host1:remote_dir
scp myname@host1:remote_dir/filename .
scp myname@host1:remote_dir/filename myname@host2:another_dir
