Linux and macOS systems by default come with a command line SCP client. Windows SCP client is available in MobaXterm and Git bash.

There are a lot of in-item manuals for the scp control to be establish on the Internet, here is a quick guide on how to use information technology normally:

                                  # Upload the file yourFile.xyz to your dwelling house directory on the VM                  $                  scp yourFile.xyz username@cerzheprd03.its.auckland.air conditioning.nz:~/.                  # Upload the binder yourFolder to your home directory on the VM                  $                  scp                  -r                  yourFolder username@cerzheprd03.its.auckland.ac.nz:~/.

Downloading files from your home directory on the login node to your home directory on your local machine is a similar process as shown below:

                                  # Download the file ~/yourFile.xyz to your home directory on your computer                  $                  scp username@cerzheprd03.its.auckland.ac.nz:~/yourFile.xyz ~/.                  # Download the folder yourFolder to your home directory on your figurer                  $                  scp                  -r                  username@cerzheprd03.its.auckland.ac.nz:~/yourFolder ~/.
