How to download archive via ssh?

Question

SSH

I went via ssh,
went to the backup folder, I’m in the folder through ls, I see
2 archives admin.2021-11-03_05-13-58.tar
download archives
enter scp admin.2021-11-04_05-13-58.tar /home/user
writes

usage: scp [-12346BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
           [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
           [host1:]file1 ... [host2:]file2

am I far away in the Linux terminal
or do I need to directly enter ip further folders further where to download?

Answer 1

scp needs to be run on your machine. For example, like this:
scp [email protected]:/path_to_file/admin.2021-11-03_05-13-58.tar target_path/admin.2021-11-03_05-13-58.tar
where user is the username,
server is the server, where are you downloading the file from.
/path_to_file/ - full path to the file
target_path - path on your machine where you download the file.
This will download the file from the remote machine to yours. If you specify the user and server in the second parameter, it will copy from your machine to the remote one.
