Copy files from cluster to local and vice versa using SCP

To know the details about 'scp', type man scp in the terminal.

To copy files from the cluster to local system

scp -P 4200 userName@cluster.domain:/home/path/to/the/file/ .     

(notice that the 'dot' at the end is for copying files to the current folder)

Similarly, to copy the files from current folder to the cluster

scp ./fileName -P 4200 userName@cluster.domain:/home/path/to/directory

To copy a directory and its files and subdirectories to to the cluster

scp -r ./Dir1 -P 4200 userName@cluster.domain:/home/path/to/directory

Copy a directory recursively from cluster to your local system

scp -P -r 4200 userName@cluster.domain:/home/Dir1 .
