Simplest method of transferring a file from one linux PC to another using SCP

The simplest example of an scp command is given below

Syntax
~~~~~
scp <filename> <username@ipaddress>:/<path for the destination>

eg:

scp ASR12500b119.bin root@172.26.64.146:/var/lib/tftpboot

In the next step you will have to supply the password of the destination machine and then you will get some thing like this if the transfer is complete.

[a@CHN-A11-144 tftpboot]$ scp ASR12500e079.bin root@172.26.64.144:/var/lib/tftpboot
