I use terminal shellI and I’m finding it difficult to copy a file from my school remote server to my local machine.

I used this command but it’s giving an error massage. rsync -avx eve.kean.edu:/tmp/directory/hosts.

Please I need help so I could use this file to start my final project.

The file name is hosts. And my professor copied it in /tmp/directory

This is my school remote name: eve.kean.edu

My User Name is: nwodo@evebelow is what I’m getting with the command.

Solution

The syntax is like:

scp username@source:/file/location username@destination:/storage/location

The the command in your is case is like

scp eve.kean.edu:/tmp/directory/hosts nwodo@eve:/where/to/copy
