This makes scp preferential to sftp for quick file downloads, though you could obviously use sftp if you wanted to as well.
The basic syntax to use scp secure copy for securely downloading remote files is as follows, replacing user, server, path, and target as appropriate:. Assuming authentication is correct, the target file will immediately start to download to the target destination, offering a percentage completion, download speed, and elapsed transfer time as the file download proceeds.
If the file or path has a space in the name, you can use quotations or escaping on the path like so:. Password: filename. Again, assuming the connection is approve and the login is successful, the remote file will download from the target server to the localhost.
Using ssh for remote file downloads like this is most appropriate for secure transfers which require authentication. Sure you can also downloading files with curl or wget from remote servers, but files accessible with curl and wget tend to be accessible from the outside world as well, whereas ssh and scp requires authentication or a key, and uses 3DES encryption, making it considerably more secure.
