scp = secure copy. Move files between your laptop and any remote server using the same SSH credentials. No FTP servers, no S3 setup, no nonsense — just like cp, but across the internet.
In this lesson:
🎯 scp file.txt user@host:/path — push file to remote server
🎯 scp user@host:/file.txt . — pull file from remote
🎯 -r flag for recursive folder transfer
🎯 -P 2222 for non-standard SSH port (capital P!)
🎯 scp vs rsync — when each one wins
