How to download a file to a computer via ssh?

Question

linux

As I understand it, there is a command for downloading

scp /home/catalog/name_fail.tar.gz [email protected]:./Yandex.Disk

But where does she download? I understand that it will download to home/user/Yandex.Disk.
I enter this command, a line is shown, they say, 100% downloaded, but ... Where to? There is nothing in the folder. Nowhere. Generally!
And in general, is this command downloading or doing something else?

Answer 1

scp [откуда] [куда]
you copied the file /home/catalog/name_fail.tar.gz from the machine where you are doing scp to the machine [email protected] to the directory ./Yandex.Disk

Answer 2

If you lost the file on the receiving machine, then yes, it will be in "home/user/Yandex.Disk"
But your user is root. ([email protected])
And for root, the home directory is usually "/root"

Answer 3

instead of:
./Yandex.Disk you
should write:
~/Yandex.Disk
then the file will be downloaded to your home directory (/root)

Answer 4

If you are afraid of scp, then you can
tar -cf - /file | ssh hostname tar -xf -C /test
